Seeing The Fetus Before Abortion

This seems a bit ridiculous for women seeking abortion. If the process itself wasn't difficult enough for women there have been acts that would REQUIRE women to see the unborn child before abortion.

I generally consider myself a conservative but this has no place in abortion. From my knowledge and experience abortion is already tough enough without the process of seeing your unborn baby before you decide to get rid of it. Mandating such process is disgusting and not being covered at all.

Thanks to Governor Rick Perry, legislation that will allow women who are considering an abortion to see an ultrasound of their unborn child beforehand will become state law.

“Governor Perry was pleased to sign this important legislation, which bolsters our efforts to protect life by ensuring Texans are fully informed when considering such an important decision,” said Katherine Cesinger, a spokeswoman for the governor, according to various media reports.

The legislation allows women to see the ultrasound 24 hours before the abortion and abortion centers typically do ultrasounds to estimate the age of the baby before the abortion but they don’t normally allow women a chance to see or explain to them in detail the development of their unborn child. When used in pregnancy centers offering abortion alternatives, approximately 80 percent of women change their mind about having an abortion.

Although this has not been mandated on a national level I can only imagine with the combination of the new healthcare bill this could be added into it.
