The dark secret is that seventeen states have, or are considering, ultrasound legislation. The darkest part is that this ultrasound allows women to physically view their babies prior to a possible abortion. Hideously, South Carolina could be the first state to make the viewing mandatory, making women view another life in their bodies before they kill it. Who could possibly require such a thing?
But this information is not surprising. We learn that more and more Crisis Pregnancy Centers now have ultrasound equipment that allows women intending to abort, to see exactly what is to be aborted. Some ultrasounds actually show enough detail where you can observe ‘up-to-now’ hidden physical characteristics. Those centers report that anywhere from 62 to 95% of the women who had intended to abort, change their mind after an ultrasound viewing. It seems all those Planned Parenthood locations can hear the money flushing down the toilet(no pun intended).
The pro-abortionists are livid at such a display of realism. They typically call the practice ‘intimidation’ or ‘emotional blackmail’. But as Star Parker(TownHall) explains, “Intimidation or blackmail implies some kind of threat. What exactly might that threat be?” When has asking a doctor to explain something to you been better than a picture?
It is true that a significant number of women under the age of 17 have abortions performed. If you’re not old enough to vote or buy liquor, how does one have the personal ability to comprehend eliminating a life? Women need all the facts before making an abortion. A Georgia bill will simply give the woman the opportunity and option to view the fetal image and the fetal heartbeat at the conclusion of an ultrasound. It’s likely that when these young women see fingers, toes, and a beating heart, they better understand the life within them.
The bottom line of money and politics seem to be driving the abortion industry--two poor ethics at best. But why does everyone need to try out a new car before they own it? It’s good to see what you will get before you purchase. And certainly buying a new home mandates a ‘looksee’, or maybe several, before you become the owner. What is it about a new baby that pro-abortionists don’t want you to see? It’s very interesting when one realizes that the doctor and/or nurses usually view the ultrasound of the baby while performing the abortion. But it’s against rules to let the mother see it.
Sure, the birth of a baby is a little different than buying a car or a house. The baby is infinitely more important than either. Anyone who thinks differently is truly scary. And the car or the house won’t scream at you if you decide to destroy them, like a baby would if she/he had the voice to do it.
The culture of death doesn't want ANYTHING to interfere with infanticide.
Pro-Life Ping
They need to replace the word “emotional” with “realistic.”
Pro-lifers should be in a good mood. They are slowly winning the public over. There is reason to believe that Roe vs. Wade will be overturned in our lifetimes.

“Man, it is really hot in here...Mom! [fweet!] Yo, Mom! You’re not wolfin’ down jalapeños again, are ya?. Yeah, ‘cause let me tell you about my friend, Ned. His momma ate nothin’ but spicy foods?...Homeboy came out red, Ma. Bright red. So if you keep crammin’ those peppers down your neck, I might just bust out of here early...grab something on the way out, take it with me.”
Since when have the libs been against emotions? That’s all they understand.
Of course we all know what a blatant lie that is and deep down inside these abortion gouls know this is a life.
I guess they are just pro-uninformed Choice.
Truth and reality are great enemies of Satan and the liberals.

I never agreed with the lawbreaking down by operation rescue and others. With our tremendous freedoms in this country, all lawbreaking shows is that you lack the imagination to get your point across another way.
Ultrasounds are that better idea. Another idea I
have had would be a wall in Washington, D.C. with the names, from would have been, could have been, mothers, of the deceased. It would only contain names from mothers who wanted others to learn from their tragic mistake, many times the result of being conned by planned parenthood, i.e., planned infanticide.
It is an issue of control, money, and votes...even if it is wrapped in a lie!
The only hideous thing is the actual killing, which is admitted to in this statement. It should say "another's life" to reflect the true nature of the act.
“Emotional blackmail”?
Indeed, who could abort their child after seeing it’s small face. Hopefully no one could.
I’m glad they finally are doing this. I’ve been advocating this for the longest time. They say they want women to have a choice, let them know the choice they make. The way to fight the left is offer a reasonable option that no reasonable person could disagree with and let them position themselves against it.
Well, a really callous abortionist can say, like the bomber crews of World War II, “Your target for tonight is -”
I’m confused, are they making them mandatory?
“The pro-abortionists are livid at such a display of realism. They typically call the practice ‘intimidation’ or ‘emotional blackmail’.”
The pro-abortionists lie. What they really are hopping mad about is the loss of a crucial “talking point”.
Those in the “business” call the rpactice “profit reduction”.
Follow the money trail.
