For the first time in 5 years, West Virginia lawmakers have passed their first anti-abortion measure. On Saturday, the State Senate unanimously approved the bill that says a woman must get a form 24 hours before her abortion, informing her that if an ultrasound is part of the procedure, she has the right to see it or decline it.

The unanimous vote could indicate that both sides of the political spectrum see something they agree with in the legislation. Some Pro-Choice advocates see the bill as an opportunity to better inform women about their decision.

Sheri Sorrell who identifies herself as Pro-Choice says "I absolutely agree. I think every woman should have the right to see that there is a living human being there, before they go ahead and make that decision."

Pro-Life advocates see the measure as a positive also. John Davidson whom classifies himself as Pro-Life says "I think its a good idea. Cause it's not just thought of as a blob of flesh or something to get rid of. It gives you the chance to see that its a real person."

According to the Charleston Gazette the bill passed unanimously after language giving criminal penalties to doctors who do not comply with West Virginia's existing women's right to know law was removed.

The right to know statute mandates that providers give women information on abortion risks and alternatives. Pro-Life advocates say this is a major step forward in their fight against abortion.

Davidson says: "if you can't see something it's easier to do away with it then if you can actually see it. If one of your children was 2 or 3 years old, you wouldn't have them killed, because you can see them. And my stance on it is: women can say it's my body. But it's not your body, its someone else's body, inside your body. So you have the right to choose for your body, if you wanted to do something to your own body. But not somebody else's body."

Sorrell can understand why Pro-Life advocates see this as a positive. "I think it probably could change a lot of woman's minds, once they saw that there is a living human being there. So yes, it is a step in their direction."

The bill now heads to Governor Manchin for final approval.
