Seeing Is Believing

In the past decade, ultrasound technology has succeeded in unmasking the lie of the abortion movement by offering a heart-changing window into the womb and revealing the personhood of humanity's smallest members. Seeing their children as living, feeling, and kicking babies, not "blobs of tissue," the number of moms who reconsider their decision to abort after having an ultrasound is staggering. To help dissuade more from aborting, pro-lifers have pushed to make the mere offer of an ultrasound universal in states. Six are working to ensure that women have the opportunity to take an honest look at their children before agreeing to abort them. In Ohio, a bill signed into law by Gov. Ted Strickland (D) on Friday will revoke a physician's license if he does not comply. A similar proposal is being debated in the Kentucky House, where a pro-life lawmaker is proposing a fine of $100,000 for any doctor who ignores the ultrasound mandate. In Florida and Oklahoma, the statehouses are considering comparable bills, while the Kansas House voted overwhelmingly to approve the same model as Ohio. For Missourians, the battle over ultrasound legislation has been complicated by pro-abortion House members who have tried repeatedly to divert attention away from the issue in hopes of killing it in committee. Although the Senate approved the bill, liberals continue to push back on a vote. If you live in any of the five states currently considering this important legislation, contact your leaders and insist that if women have the so-called "right" to choose, they have a right to know all of the facts first.
