Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam has signed bills rolling back multiple abortion restrictions in the state, including some that had been in place for decades

The new laws make Virginia the first state to codify new abortion protections in 2020, according to Elizabeth Nash, the senior state issues manager at the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive health think tank.The legislation removes longstanding regulations requiring abortion seekers to undergo an ultrasound at least 24 hours prior to receiving an abortion and to get counseling on alternatives to abortion.

The bill's legislative backers cheered Northam's signature. House Majority Leader Charniele Herring, who introduced the House bill, cheered the bills' signing and asserted that the rolled back restrictions were"not evidence-based and presume that women have an inability to make their own health care decisions." "We have finally put an end to these medically unnecessary barriers to women's reproductive health care," state Sen.
