Hungarian women will be made to listen to 'foetal heartbeat' before they can have an abortion
SKY News ^ | September 14, 2022 | By Samuel Osborne

Women seeking an abortion in Hungary must listen to a "foetal heartbeat" before they can undergo the procedure as the country tightens its abortion laws.

The decree states healthcare providers must provide pregnant women with "a clearly identifiable indication of foetal vital signs" before proceeding with an abortion.

In a statement, Hungary's Interior Ministry said "nearly two-thirds of Hungarians associate the beginning of a child's life with the first heartbeat".

It said modern equipment can detect heartbeats early in pregnancy to provide "more comprehensive information for pregnant women".

Aron Demeter, from Amnesty International Hungary, said the decree was a "very alarming step back" which "basically puts women already in a difficult position into a more difficult position".

He told Sky News: "The only 'achievement' of this amendment will be that people trying to access abortion will be more traumatised and more stressed."

How cruel it is to require anyone to face the actual consequences of their actions.

They should be required to listen to the (fading) heartbeat as the potassium chloride solution is being injected!

Taking a human life should be a hard decision.

From the little I know about Hungary, if for some reason I had to abandon the USA, Hungary would be on my short list.

The first thing to do is see if the mother has a heart...beat.

Why is “foetal heartbeat” in quote? Is there doubt that the child’s heart is beating?

I really like this.

Personal note: I became pro-life many years ago (I was still an atheist at the time) after a nurse of my acquaintance showed me an ultrasound of a fetus.

A better move would be to just deny abortions

Abortionists lie to women. They tell pregnant women they’re carrying a clump of cells or “tissue.”

The ultrasound shows women they are carrying a baby with a heartbeat and tiny hands and feet.

"...if for some reason I had to abandon the USA, Hungary would be on my short list....."

That would be a good decision- I have spent quite a bit of time in Hungary and I can tell you that their society, in general, is very squared away.....

The roles between men and women are very well defined, and they are an unusually polite and intelligent people.

this is a better option imho. If you ban abortions - here in Poland we allow abortions ONLY for 1. danger to mother’s life/health, 2. rape/incest, 3. foetal “health” (euphemism to kill Down’s syndrome babies) and when we tried to ban it for #2 and #3, the outcry was huge by feminazis etc. that there was a fear that they would get abortion legalized.

Better to say “listen to the heartbeat and then decide”

How can someone like you claim to be pro-life yet dances in the blood of war victims?

The feminazis are little yapping chihuahuas (sp?) Who bark loudly but are nothing. Better to ban it than allow the minority feminazis to gain any ground at all in my opinion. Just do what the left does- ban something and ignore all the protests.

The only one dancing in the blood of war victims is you, Ivan.

I oppose Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. You support Putin’s invasion and hence support Putin killing these thousands of people.

Why do you support death by your support of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine?

A video of a recruitment talk for Wagner by Prigozhin in a Russian prison camp. Absolutely bonkers. “Nobody goes back behind bars. If you serve six months, you are free. If you arrive in Ukraine and decide it’s not for you, we execute you.”
