Senator Sam Brownback Introduces a Bill That would Require an Ultrasound Before an Abortion

  Senator and presidential hopeful Sam Brownback has introduced a bill that would require doctors to take an ultrasound and show it to the would be mother before she has an abortion. This is something that has been signed into law in Georgia earlier this year, and now Brownback is proposing it on a national level.

  This was part of Senator Brownback’s statement:

“We can reduce the number of abortions and help people reflect on the humanity of the unborn child by providing more information to women,”

  Therein lies the problem, however, with this bill. The left wants to protect abortion at all costs, they are not interested with reducing the number of abortions. They see reducing the number of abortions as an attack on the woman’s right to choose. If there is a chance more woman will use the right to choose to choose life instead of death, and this reduces abortions, it will be considered an attack on abortions from within. You see, while this bill doesn’t go after abortion in the normal way by trying to say abortion should be illegal, it does go after abortion by trying to change a woman’s mind about abortion. It will be viewed as a psychological attack on a woman’s right to choose.

The Family Research Council, which supports the bill, said many women — “when confronted with the palpable personhood of their babies” — reconsider their decision to abort.

  In other words, when a woman sees that her baby is actually alive she will have second thoughts before she kills it.  This is a totally unacceptable concept to those on the left. To those on the left the right to choose means simply the right to destroy life, for if you choose to keep the baby you really haven’t made a choice, have you? If you keep the baby you are simply doing what most women would do, and that is not choosing anything, that is simply going forward into the next phase of your life, motherhood.

  If a woman’s right to choose was simply about whether a woman decides to keep her baby or not then adoption would be a much better option. A woman who doesn’t want to deal with a baby simply doesn’t have to kill it, they can give it away to a happy loving family that may not be able to have children of their own. A family that would do almost anything to love and nurture a baby, which when you come right down to it is the most basic reason we are on this earth. So, it’s not about keeping your baby or not keeping your baby, it’s about a woman ending a pregnancy. It’s about a woman’s control over her body, but most of all it’s about not letting a man tell a feminist what the hell they should do.

  So, while to many Americans, letting a woman see an ultrasound of her moving, living baby before she decides to terminate it may seem like a good and noble cause. Not actually attacking abortion, yet educating a potential mother to the truth about abortion in an attempt to reduce abortions can’t be controversial, can it? To the left it will be seen as another attack on a woman’s right to choose.
