    Hogwash! There is no evidence whatsoever that viewing ultrasounds changes women's minds.

    Unlikely to Succeed
    Providing women information specifically geared to dissuading them from having an abortion is a perversion of medical ethics in general and the informed consent process in particular. But no matter how well-worn the tactic, it does not appear to be effective in its purported goal of materially reducing the number of procedures performed. In fact, there is no persuasive evidence that state abortion policies aimed, in one way or another, at talking women out of an abortion stop large numbers of women from having them.

    That's just wrong. I realise the courts said it was okay, but to me this is wrong.

    I wonder how many abortions would be avoided if we forced the mothers to watch an abortion.

    Oh i don't know. In some hospitals you have to meet other requirements for admission. This is a natural extention and one obviously that the left didn't think about.

    I don't know if it stops any abortions either. But i'm willing to see how it does.

    Really? You don't think a women going to have an aboration doesn't know about what she's about to do? Or that she's going through one of the most painful things she's ever going to do?

    Why do you think it's your right to force women to do anything?

    She doesn't have to hear the heartbelt, but the 'abortionist' much describe the fetus? How do you suppose you can ensure this actually happens, Hat? You gonna put lifers in the same room so they can make sure the fetus is described? Is Lila Rose going to go undercover? :laughing:
