Proposed S.C. bill sets stage for abortion fight [ultrasounds required]
The State, Columbia, SC ^ | 2009-01-02 | LeRoy Chapman Jr.

Abortion foes in the Legislature have sown the seeds of what could develop into another battle over regulating abortion in South Carolina.

Seven S.C. House lawmakers have prefiled a bill that would require women seeking abortions to be given a list of clinics and other facilities that provide free ultrasounds. That list could include pregnancy crisis centers — many run by antiabortion groups — that actively discourage abortion and encourage women to choose other alternatives.

The bill expands upon the law the General Assembly passed this year that requires abortion providers to give women seeking an abortion the option of viewing an ultrasound beforehand.

So the abortionists don’t want women making an informed decision? Say it ain’t so!

How heartbreaking is it that for millions of rabid liberals, the need to see innocent babies slaughtered is the singular driving cause of their lives? It has zip to do with "choice," because, as you illuminated, they oppose anything and everything that makes for a truly informed decision. They want one end result: a dead baby.

I fear God's judgment on this nation is gonna be severe. Yes, there are many other nations in which liberals rule the day, but I believe we're held to a higher standard. We are the country that was blessed like none before, I believe specifically because of our founding and development on unabashedly Christian principles.

If hospitals are mandated by law to perform abortions, maybe this would be one avenue to use for stalling. A rule of the hospital can be that an ultra sound is required before an abortion is performed. Then if the patient insists, an outside abortion provider would be brought in. I know it’s abortion by another name, but hospitals may have to weigh the options.

Hussein's definition of a newborn baby is "a fetus living temporarily out of the womb".
