Texas Senate passes bill to require sonogram before abortion

 AUSTIN – Women in Texas must be offered a fetal sonogram and hear a heartbeat before having an abortion under legislation approved by the Senate on Thursday. The legislation, hailed by abortion opponents as a way to entitle women to more information, would be in addition to a 24-hour waiting period and state-dictated medical information that already are required. But others questioned further government intrusion into a difficult, personal decision that would mandate certain tests, information and procedures.
