Crist Vetoes Abortion Bill

Ultrasound exams can cost between a few hundred dollars and $1,500 and the women would have also been required to pay for the procedure.

A controversial bill that would require women wanting abortions to get ultrasounds before the operation has been vetoed by Gov. Charlie Crist.

Crist had hinted that he would rebuke the idea several times this week after saying he had "concerns" about some of the provisions in the bill.

"This bill places an inappropriate burden on a woman seeking to terminate a pregnancy,'' Crist said.
