Studies have shown that ultrasounds, which show the humanity of the unborn children throughout pregnancy, convince at least 80 percent of women considering an abortion to keep their baby.

The abortionists are terrified that women will find out that they are actually carrying a BABY!

Let the health care rationing begin!!

And it doesn’t hurt that it ties in well with the radical, racist, pro-abortion agenda.

Part of univeral health care coming your way.

The government will decide if you have a need for an ultrasound.

All this after I suspect, tens of thousands of dollars spent of donation funds on ultra-sound equipment for pro-life clinics.

Hmmm - females are more likely to be aborted than males after the sex of the baby is determined especially in some cultures like India and Islamic.

A bow to reality and the building immigrants in the state?

I’m not against this. Yes, it’s quite possible this was passed to prevent couples from seeing that there really is a baby inside mom. However, I don’t think that having medical procedures should be about anything not medical. I didn’t want an ultrasound when I was pregnant because I had read that in rare cases, there can be negative side effects. The doctor got really angry, so I had one. It shouldn’t be that way.

God will have his justice on these murderers. Using their positions of authority to limit the information available to a woman making a decision of death over life is unconscionable.

Connecticut isn’t a real state anyway. Couples who want vanity ultrasounds can easily drive to a bordering state and get one.

"I’m not against this."

An abortion can be performed at the whim of a pregnant woman simply because she wants one, but an ultrasound cannot?

...can't be done without a medical reason or authorization from a physician

A nightmare for any doctor and a gold mine for a tort lawyer.

Death over life is not a medical issue?

So you're OK with preventing others (in CT at least) from making their own decision?

Wow.

dear twigs:

When is the risk from an ultrasound more dangerous than the abortion option that it might sway a mother away from?

This is an incredibly cynical move, and it reveals quite clearly the mindset and motives of the death pushers.

Their lie of wanting to make abortion "safe, but rare" is mocked by this law.

Makes a lot of sense doesn't it? /s

Yes, the abortionists have been saying this for quite some time, but they have yet to produce even a single case of negative effects on either a mother or child.

Obviously, regular and prolonged exposure to ultrasonic waves are dangerous, but that IS NOT what this is about.

I agree. How physicians view ultrasound is evolving and they no longer “just” do them for no reason at all.

I had more than I could count with my last child, and we (my husband and I) had a serious talk with the doctor (at her request) about the benefits versus the known and unknown but suspected risks.

Ultrasound is a medical procedure and should not be done by people outside of a medical setting.

I think you are missing the point here.

Under a new bill pro-abortion Connecticut Gov. Jodi Rell signed into law last week, an ultrasound of an unborn child can't be done without a medical reason or authorization from a physician. The bill could have a negative impact on pregnancy centers that use ultrasounds to help women considering abortion.

The abortionist don't want an expectant mother to see that child wiggling around inside her. Nobody is saying you have to get an ultrasound.
