Remember, the right to choose involves a woman’s body, and is a purely private decision.

That’s why according to the abortionists, the government must pay for it and the woman can’t see an ultrasound of the area before the abortion.

and 1 + 1 = sqrt(-1 * pi)

Praise God for the SCOTUS upholding ultrasounds as this simple step to opening eyes to what abortion is

I’ve also seen over the last 20 years teaching Confirmation to teens that ultra sounds of the baby in womb has persuaded more of them to say “that’s a baby” then any instruction I can give them.

Then how will they sell the parts, if the fickle b@tch goes and decides to keep it.

Letting? How about making it mandatory?

There is a mobile rescue clinic that allows women to hear the baby’s heartbeat before they get an abortion. When they hear it, many change their mind.

I’m glad this was done while Bevin was still governor.
There is no way Beshear would have appealed it. He’s another baby killer. In addition to being corrupt.

I am so grateful that we elected an ethical, conservative AG. He will limit some of the corrupt crap that would have occurred with Stumbo as AG covering Beshear’s butt.

This particular judge is an Obama appointee who previously ruled that President Trump could be held personally liable to a plaintiff who had claimed to have been roughed up by Trump supporters.

That case was reversed on appeal as well.

I’m sure the great “CATHOLIC” Nancy Pelosi will be ecstatic over this news. /s

So, Planned Parenthood is against full disclosure of information to the woman?

Outright forcing it would clearly infringe on individual freedom of speech and opinion. This option as ruled constitutionally acceptable by the Supreme Court is a reasonable approach that doubtless will have the happy result of significantly reducing casual abortions in Kentucky. I fully expect the idea to spread rapidly among other state legislatures. As others have said, seeing the fetus and its heartbeat personalizes and — dare I say it — humanizes it in the heart of the would-be mother. It's longer an anonymous lump of unwanted meat but a human being waiting to be born.

As I've said before, I'm a long way from an absolutist anti-abortion fanatic myself, but I approve of measures like this. In the near future, it may be possible to go further by sampling the DNA of the fetus and quickly computing utterly lifelike videos of how the yet-to-be-born child will look at the age of six months, one year, five years, and so forth. In a dystopian story I once read — or near-utopian, depending on your view — women who had had abortions were forced to watch just that sort of video once a month for twenty or thirty years after the abortion. This hypothetical society was part of a "grand compromise" between anti-abortion forces and pro-choice agitators. It's an interesting notion even if it technically tramples all over the First Amendment.

Letting? How about making it mandatory?

No mention on how they voted. But I can bet the usual suspects were against it.

The SCOTUS generally requires four votes to grant a Petition of Certiorari to hear a case. There are four liberals on the bench and so, at least one of them must have declined the petition -- probably out of concern that if the SCOTUS did take the case, the conservative majority would use the case as an opportunity to weaken abortion rights.

Let’s see.

What I meant by “mandatory” is simple.

If a Woman CHOOSES to kill her Unborn Child, the Ultrasound is just part of the Procedure and is disclosed to her up front.

If the Woman CHOOSES to shut her eyes and plug her Ears during the Ultrasound, she can do that. It wouldn’t be a Clockwork Orange thing.

“A friend of mine works for an organization that offers counseling and ultra sound pictures of your baby if you’re considering an abortion.

Literally 70% of these women decide against abortion when allowed to see the xray. PP is waaaay against this practice for just that reason.”

...UPDATE. It’s 80%. Just talked to my friend.
