RICHMOND — Women will have to undergo an ultrasound before receiving an abortion in Virginia under a measure that is now likely headed to Gov. Bob McDonnell’s desk.

The Virginia House of Delegate followed the Senate’s lead in passing a bill Tuesday that requires doctors to perform the ultrasound before every abortion and offer the patient a picture of the fetus and audio of the unborn child’s heartbeat.
