MADISON — Wisconsin Senate Republicans abruptly shut off debate Wednesday before a dramatic vote in which they approved a bill that would require women seeking an abortion to first undergo an ultrasound.

The bill passed 17-15 with all Republicans in support and Democrats against. It now heads to the Assembly, which was expected to pass it on Thursday. Gov. Scott Walker said Tuesday he would sign it into law.

Republican Sen. Mary Lazich gave an impassioned defense of the measure she sponsored, saying it was a small step that would protect women by giving them more information about the decision they have to make.

“In the last 5-10 years I’ve become more and more aware of women suffering from abortion trauma,” Lazich said. “I, we, stand with women for health care.”
