Victory: Appeals Court Upholds Texas’ Ultrasound-Abortion Law

Austin, TX – A federal appeals court has upheld a pro-life law in Texas allowing women a chance to see an ultrasound of their unborn child prior to an abortion.

" This historic law protects a pregnant woman’s right to view her unborn child and hear the heartbeat of that child before making a decision about an abortion":

Ah…but is it a “right”, or is it being FORCED on women in an attempt to discourage them? Honesty, please?:rolleyes:

In any case, if I am reading it correctly, the 3 judge panel ruled on the injunction ONLY. They did not rule on the actual consitutionality. That will probably require a full appeals court, followed by the supreme court. 🤷

I think that lack of information is really done to keep the woman ignorant and to encourage her to have an abortion and not vice versa, as in the the way you present it. Remember that sometime our rights are also our duties especially when it comes to education.

Why should an employer be forced to inform his workforce on how to join a union, but an abortionist should not be required to inform the woman seeking an abortion exactly what would happen or what is happening during an abortion.

When a woman’s choice affects another life, (the unborn), the state should have the authority to step in. Given the gravity of killing an unborn child, it is a small intrusion for the woman considering an abortion to be forced to look at an ultrasound or to be given to option to look at one.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in Gonzalss v. Carhart in 2007, ‘Whether to have an abortion requires a difficult and painful moral decision….The State has an interest in ensuring so grave a choice is well informed. It is self-evident that a mother who comes to regret her choice to abort must struggle with grief more anguished and sorrow more profound when she learns, only after the event, what she once did not know…’”

There is evidence women want to see an ultrasound before making the choice of having an abortion:

“In one of the few studies of the issue — there have been none in the United States — two abortion in British Columbia found that 73 percent of patients wanted to see an image if offered the chance. Eighty-four percent of the 254 women who viewed sonograms said it did not make the experience more difficult, and none reversed her decision.”

These Texas women who have had an abortion wish they could of seen an ultrasound:

You didn’t read far enough into the linked article:
“Planned Parenthood already does sonograms before abortions. Yet they almost always refuse to let women see the images — even when the desperate mothers ask to see them,” she said. “For every abortion, Planned Parenthood rakes in between $350 and $600. A sonogram transforms a confused customer into a mother willing to rise off the table, walk out of the abortion mill, and choose Life. The last option Planned Parenthood wants is for a frightened girl to take time, to even think, to have a chance to change her mind.”
…
“…abortion centers typically do ultrasounds to estimate the age of the baby before the abortion but they don’t normally allow women a chance to see or explain to them in detail the development of their unborn child. When used in pregnancy centers offering abortion alternatives, approximately 80 percent of women change their mind about having an abortion.”
