A vaginal ultrasound procedure is a humiliating, invasive, painful procedure that is not medically warranted as part of a first-trimester, legal abortion. Anderson and other members of the far right wish to impose it on women merely to discourage abortions.
Delegate Anderson, a conservative Republican, represents the 51st District in the Virginia House of Delegates. The district includes Lake Ridge, Westridge, Nokesville, Brentsville, Kerrydale, McCoart, Woodbrine, Old Bridge, Bethel, Chinn, and Rockledge. In the last election, Anderson beat his Democrat rival by approximately 300 votes.
Since arriving in Richmond, Anderson has consistently voted with other members of the far right, including Robert G. (Bob) Marshall and L. Scott Lingamfelter. Anderson has been accused of supporting legislation that is hostile to women's rights, a charge that he has ignored.
