A majority of Virginians stand against the state’s new law that requires women seeking an abortion to undergo an ultrasound before the procedure, a new survey shows.
Fifty-two percent of voters said they opposed the law, compared with 41 percent who support it, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.
Further, an overwhelming 72 percent of Virginians said that the government should not make laws aimed at changing the minds of women who are seeking abortions.
