They are passing a law in a state, that will require a woman to watch the baby on an ultrasound before going through with the abortion itself.
To pro- choice .... Why is this a bad thing at all?
According to you, this isnt a "life" just a fetus. Why rally against it??
(this should be interesting)

Yeah cruel and unusual punishment!! They are the ones going through the abortion, does no one care about the baby who is being murdered by a suction that pulls off all there limbs?!?! So the mom had sex and didn't got pregnant, A RESULT FROM SEX. Abortion shouldnt be the easy way out.

I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I mean, it shows women that they are carrying life inside of them, that its much more than just a "fetus". After all, the "fetus" does have a heartbeat after only a few weeks. I don't believe in it unless its absolutely necessary, like if the baby is not expected to live, or is putting you in danger. You could have the baby and give it up to someone who does not have the blessing of being able to conceive a child. I'm not against anyone who has an abortion, but I AM against women who use abortion as a form of BIRTH CONTROL.

The process of abortion is extremely gross, and the decision is usually regretted by the mother. However, I still think it should be a choice as to whether or not a child will be born under certain circumstances. The funny thing is that there are pro life people and pro choice people who would agree with that statement. Having a mother see an ultra sound is a good way for her to see her baby as a special, living human life. but it also seems cruel to flaunt an ultrasound at a mother set on an abortion. I really have no solid opinion on the matter, however, don't label pro choice people as baby killers, that just makes you seem ignorant.

Women do not choose to undertake a termination of pregnancy on a whim. It is not used as a form of contraception. It is not a 'day out'.
There are different reasons for undertaking a termination, these include threat to the health of the mother (physical as well as mental), severe abnormalities with the fetus, or too many babies developing in the uterus after assisted contraception.
In England, Scotland and Wales, you need the signature of two independant doctors before undergoing the procedure. Despite the hype surrounding termination from 'pro-lifers', most procedures are not lunchtime excursions: they include general anasthesia.
Women who have made up their mind to have a termination have already given it much thought - abortion really is not an easy option - and would have undergone at least two physical examinatons as well as being interviewed by two doctors. Does anybody really think the enforced watching of an ultrasound will change the situation? Also, how will it be done? Will somebody be holding the patient's head in a vice whilst the her eyelids are taped up on her forehead?
I know this answer is getting a little long, but I would like to share two TRUE scenarios with you.
1. A pregnant woman with four other children at home is diagnosed with breast cancer. She is advised by her consultant to undergo both surgery and chemotherapy. For this she is required to have a termination. Isn't here enought grief here already?
2. A mother of three year old twins dicovers she is preganant again directly after she runs from her now alcoholic and very violent husband. The doctors tell her it is at least twins again, possibly more. The woman is frightened for her safety, depressed and overworked with her twins. She is out of a job and 'in hiding'. Due to family pressures, she is unable to select having the children and giving them up for adoption. Should she then be tipped over the edge and made to watch an ultrasound after she has decided the best thing for herself and the twins is to end the pregnancy?
Like I said at the beginning, abortion is not done on a whim.

Actually, they haven't passed a law. The state attorney general indicated it would be illegal to force a woman to view an image against her will. The proposal will probably die in committee, or be vetoed before entering as a law without significant modifications.
In addition, any health professional is NOT -- repeat NOT -- supposed to impose their beliefs or allow someone else's beliefs to influence the level of care or treatment that they provide to their patient. Creating a level of 'ultrasound enforcement' is on par with requiring expectant mothers to file a genetic profile before giving birth to ensure their offspring don't have any latent tendencies to violence, cancer, etc...
In regards to choice, as much as the pro-life movement would argue that any mother who really recognized that a life was being terminated in the womb would think twice, I've yet to see ANY study that indicates that a women who selected abortion had any doubts that, carried to term, a baby would have resulted from their pregnancy. That isn't the question. Anyone who honestly believes that a pregnant woman doesn't understand the consequences of her decision to abort without viewing such an image isn't interested in education or the well-being of the woman. They want to make a point for their own beliefs, not hers.
It serves no purpose, medically speaking, other than to create additional stress and conflict on the part of the patient. I don't think any medical professional would ethically allow themselves or their staff to enforce this provision.

The pro-choice arguement is that this is just a tactic to make the mother fall in love with this unborn child out of instinct, even if it will not be in the mother's, father's, or even the child's best interests.
It is considered a bit of an underhand method of forcing mothers to accept their child and is considered unethical medicine, which, at this point, should have only the mother as concern.

It's of course a stunt by anti-abortion folks and you know it. Do you plan to call for pregnant women to observe every single medical test and lab test done on them before pregnancy? What info concerning a properly-conducted abortion does an ultrasound provide?
It's of course a plan to pressure women not to get abortions..And you know it.

i guess its to try to change your mind im all for abortion but a fetus is a life its the begining stages of a living being, once you see that child after birth you will ask yourself how could i ever of tried to erase this childs life, i know i asked my girlfriend to have an abortion and she said then that will be the end of us after 7 years i said ok. but she had it and i ask myself that question all the time.

Wow! Great law they are passing. Hope they do it everywhere! It lets the mother think twice and think more about her options. Shows that the fetus is alive and not just a blob!
