The number of Americans who consider themselves pro-life has climbed significantly -- a shift that some doctors and abortion opponents say may be due to advances in the use of ultrasound, which allows pregnant women to see images of their babies before they're born.
"Ultrasound used to be less available, very grainy. Now the baby is very clear, very distinct," said Charmaine Yoest of Americans United for Life.
Massachusetts Dr. Eric J. Keroack told FOX News that during a two-year study 75 percent of his patients who were unsure about terminating a pregnancy decided not to have an abortion after they opted to view the ultrasound images.
n Nebraska, lawmakers advanced a measure last week requiring abortion providers to display ultrasound images of fetuses in a way that patients can easily view them. Lawmakers voted 37-5 Thursday to push the measure to the second round of debate.
"It gives young women who are struggling with that decision the option to view it and hopefully see a beating heart and the development of the child," Nebraska state Sen. John Harms told FOXNews.com.
Abortion opponents in legislatures across the nation are now lobbying for laws to require that women seeking an abortion view an ultrasound

Horseradish. There can exist no law which forces someone to view a picture. It will never pass, and considering that MOST abortions are done within the first 10-15 days of pregnancy, the idea is unrealistic to the point of being laughable.

I do understand why they are doing this, but its because they're cowards. They sold out to the luciferean leaders/judges who allowed abortion at any stage. It should only be allowed in the first trimester, this translates to under 12 weeks, with the target being not too far past 6 weeks. Because no one would abort a baby, and thats what later fetus's are, babies.
When the abortion is normally carried out the "life" is nothing more than a small congregation of cells.
Abortions are sometimes carried out to save the life of the mother, why make it harder on her?

4D ULTRASOUND PICTURES OF UNBORN BABIES
How many of you are currently wailing and gnashing your teeth about government intrusion in other parts of your lives? Yet you come here ask cry for another law. If women want to see an ultrasound of their infant they are allowed to. Making a law that requires it makes you all hypocrites. Its not about education, its about manipulation.

While fetus' are not babies, I agree with most of your sentiment here. There is no excuse for late term abortion(course, 98% of abortion in america takes place under 12 weeks, so I'm not sure what the point is in restating it).

1. When the abortion is normally carried out the "life" is nothing more than a small congregation of cells. It is not nor does it look like a mini baby what some (not all) pro-lifers think.
