The pro-life case isn’t aided by deceptive arguments.
Absolutely nothing keeps women from seeing their ultrasounds. Opponents don’t want women to be forced by government to see their ultrasounds.
Big, big difference.
Little Suzie Crisis Pregnancy Center isn’t forcing anyone to look at anything. But Montgomery County went after Centro Tepeyac Silver Spring Women’s Center.
Prosecuting volunteers and employees of pregnancy care centers for “consumer protection violations”;
Forbidding Centro from “participating in advertising” that county officials deem “untrue or misleading”;
Allowing women who claim they were “harmed by limited-service pregnancy centers to collect monetary damages” from women’s centers;
Denying taxpayer funding to crisis pregnancy centers;
Instructing county officials not to refer women to CPCs for ultrasounds or to “very clearly differentiate the centers from legitimate medical providers”;
Having the county undertake a “public awareness campaign” against pregnancy centers; and
The regulation of ultrasound practices.
A distinction without a difference.
There are a multitude of consumer protection laws, from potentially cancer-causing ingredients in products to forcing caloric information on products to sale/purchase rights of rescission in home sales in most states. There are a plethora of other 'regulations' laws that are not really much different.
The difference here is an irrevocable result that is deeply connected to religious belief, believe in humanity, whatever you want to call it. In short, a highly charged political shuttlecock that symbolizes the very worst of the one side against the best of the other.
To this end, whenever and however this obscene debasement of humanity can be stopped is just fine with me.
People LIKE Big Government if its doing their bidding. Human nature I suppose.
