My OB/GYN showed me several ultrasound's and tried to influence me to abort my "defective" baby. There were six holes in her developing heart...all but two closed before she was born, the remainder closed by the time she was two years old.
(I am blessed with a normal, healthy daughter)

I was old/mature/experienced enough to decide that even though my baby might not be born perfectly healthy, I could muster the strength and had the resources to deal with any serious birth defects.

The intent of this law is clear, and seemingly well intentioned.

The potential unintended consequences in its actual implementation might be chillingly counterproductive, depending on the expertise and ethics of the ultrasound technician, the choice of which machine is used, and what photo is presented to the mother.

Just a thought, based on my actual experience with the technology involved.

Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! (even if it is Lent!)
