KANSAS CITY, Mo — Many pregnant women get amazing ultrasound images of their baby, and not necessarily for medical reasons. The Food and Drug Administration is re-issuing an alert discouraging “keepsake” imaging. One local sonographer says the focus of the alert isn’t where it should be.
Sara Gillum, her partner and two grandmothers-to-be have come from northern Missouri to Prenatal Imaging Centers in south Kansas City to see the baby Gillum is expecting in March.
Gillum had a diagnostic ultrasound at her doctor’s office weeks ago, and says she wanted another look to make sure everything is okay.
“But also just from the curiosity aspect, seeing in 3-D what the baby really looks like,” said Gillum.

That’s probably the case.
I heard recently that a pro-abort relative was pregnant.
I asked “with what?”
Abortion clinics should be required to give an image to each patient.
This godless government WANTS this because a lifelike image of an unborn human is a harsh deterrent to future abortions and to the decision making process of women thinking about abortions.
It is a just plain evil policy, especially when there is no medical reason to urge against the practice.
Pure evil.
Everything is politicized in this country. This is being done to send a kiss to militant fang-tooth feminazis. No other reason. No medical reason.
HA! what a great question!
In the late 90’s, Planned Parenthood sued (and won) a lawsuit against the Catholic Church for offering free 3D sonograms to pregnant mothers. They won by saying that the Catholic Church was not authorized to give medical support.
The untold side of the story was that after seeing the 3D sonogram, not one woman opted for abortion. The 3D sonograms were killing their business.
BINGO! That is exactly what is going on here. If they can get doctors' offices to stop giving out these "keepsake" images, they think they can partially nullify the ultrasound, which was the death knell (so to speak) of abortion. Yes, there are still too many of these murders committed in our nation, but the trend is downward, and some states don't even have a murder mill.
Early in my career I was a design engineer making ultrasound transducers for both cardiac and fetal imaging. They are not harmless as we were able to prove continued exposure to ultrasound in the 2 -5 MHz range could cause capitation - or a boiling of the tissues at the focal point. Granted this was with prolonged exposure but nonetheless why expose a developing fetus to unnecessary risk?
Capitation should have been Cavitation.
I agree “don’t want you to see” - it’s harmful to the abortion industry ya know.
Are some states requiring 3D imaging prior to abortions ..??
Ha! How’d she answer?
No answer of course - figured out “the trap”.
Of course, I was a “bad guy” for asking the question.
Worse than someone who kills babies, obviously.
Remember to inquire at what date does this pregnant woman determine to be her last date to change her mind and "terminate?"
Presumably, no showers or gifts need to be given to this pro-abort woman as she could change her mind up to her water breaking, now even after the delivery as many are claiming.
Libs are so very transparent.
They are for freedom of expression, etc, etc.
Except when they are not for freedom of expression, etc. etc.
When are we going to stand up, rebel, and make them shudder for their future when they do something stupid (which comprises roughly 90% of their actions)?
They will NOT change until they become afraid.
Make it so.
Just connect the dots.
There is no reasonable basis for those who oppose giving mothers as much information as possible about their pregnancy, including the size and level of development of the child/fetus within them, as well as the nature of the procedure of abortion and exactly what is done during the procedure. If this were any other medical procedure, everyone would encourage giving as much information as possible. There is only one reason to oppose giving this information: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Why expose a heart patient to unnecessary risk? You can diagnose practically all cardiac problems with a stethoscope.
And how long has it been since you worked on transducers? Ultrasound has progressed a huge amount in 20 years, not to speak of when it was first introduced back in the “Silent Scream” days.
