Women should have the option to see, but not be forced to look at a sonogram

Yes, women should be made aware of all the implications in the decision to abort

Whenever possible, the would-be father should be forced to see a sonogram too

No, women have the right to abort, they shouldn't be required to view anything

It should be a requirement. The father? If you are aborting the baby, are you a "father"?

I do not think the proposed law in Virginia makes it a requirement that the mother actually view the sonogram.

Precisely. They won't be required to view it.

They are asking the wrong question. The question should be; should women be allowed to kill their unborn baby?

I believe you are correct. The most recent information I could find at Richmond Times-Dispatch, dated 2 Feb 12, included the following:

“Currently, women seeking an abortion may, in consultation with their physician, seek an ultrasound; Senate Bill 484 makes it a mandate. Under the legislation, a woman would not be obligated to view the ultrasound image.”

Why not? How many women are scarred for life because they made this decision & regretted it? It can be argued that this is taking every possible precaution to protect the future (mental) health of the woman.

It won’t make any difference to many women. Ny son’s ex-wife murdered my grandchild so she could run off with her lover.

We finally got the evidence from Planned parenthood after many legal wrangles. The Sonogram was right there on the paper where she signed that murdering the infant “was the easiest thing to do at the time”.

Some women may have a conscience, others do not.

Opposing government FORCE is a conservative principle, so I had to join the lowest ranked group with "give the option". The government already uses force in too many ways; prying her eyes open to make her look at the sonogram would just be one more and not acceptable.

But we must make it clear that it is not acceptable to kill an innocent third party for the misjudgement or misbehavior of one or two others.

1. Fatherhood begins at conception, as does motherhood.

2. Fathers have no legal authority to make any abortions happen, only the mothers do.
