NC House Votes to Override Governor's Veto of Ultrasound Law; Senate to Vote Thursday

Huffington Post: North Carolina House Votes For Ultrasound Law, Overriding Gov. Perdue Veto, by Laura Bassett:

North Carolina lawmakers voted on Tuesday to override Gov. Bev Perdue's veto of a mandatory ultrasound bill that forces abortion doctors to say certain things to their patients before the procedure.

The Abortion-Woman's Right to Know Act, which Perdue vetoed in June, requires a doctor to give a woman an ultrasound prior to the abortion procedure and to describe her fetus in detail, including the size of its organs and limbs, whether she wants to hear it or not. If she refuses to view the ultrasound image or listen to the fetal heartbeat, the doctor must record that and keep her name on file for seven years. . . .
