Jill Vogel's Reproductive Rights Record

Sponsored Bill To Force Transvaginal Ultrasounds

Sponsored Bill To Require Transvaginal Ultrasounds. According to the Loudoun Times, “Women in Virginia considering an abortion won't be required to undergo an internal ultrasound before having the controversial procedure; this after national media outlets zeroed in on contentious legislation sponsored by state Sen. Jill Holtzman Vogel (R-27). Senate Bill 484, a measure introduced by Vogel that would've mandated pregnant women have an ultrasound before proceeding with an abortion, garnered vast attention yesterday as a final vote from the state House of Delegates neared.” [Loudoun Times, 2/23/12]

Repeatedly Voted To Force Ultrasounds Before Abortions

Voted Against Repealing A Law Requiring Mandatory Ultrasounds And A 24-Hour Waiting Period For Abortions. Vogel voted against SB733 which, according to WHSV, repealed “Virginia’s mandatory ultrasound law and 24-hour waiting period prior to abortion. The bills also roll back restrictions on women's health centers, which Democrats said were designed to force centers that provide abortions to close.” [SB 733, floor vote, 3/02/20; WHSV, 4/10/20]

Voted Against Repealing Virginia’s Forced Ultrasound Law. Vogel voted against SB617 which according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch would repeal “a 2012 law requiring women seeking abortions to have ultrasounds.” [SB617, floor vote, 2/11/14; Richmond Times-Dispatch, 2/15/14]
