Virginia Governor Bob McConnell has signed legislation to step up regulations on abortion clinics.
The law requires clinics that offer first-trimester abortions to meet the same health standards required of hospitals.

Changes may include widening hallways, giving staff more training, and purchasing new equipment. Detailed regulations must be delivered by September 15, and will go into effect January 1 next year.
