Legislation that would require a doctor to offer a patient ultrasound imaging of a fetus before performing an abortion was heard in committee recently. The Senate Legislative Oversight & Sunset Committee did not vote on the measure, with the chairwoman promising to hold the bill for a few more days to allow members of the public to submit written comments, but the Democratic-controlled panel is basically certain to block the measure.
- For the two who are angry emojis, it only says “offer,” not “force” anyone. Not a big deal. Maybe there are people who would like to see exactly what they are doing. It’s called informed consent. — Rebecca Cebenka Welch
- You’re pronounced dead when there is no heartbeat. So why aren’t you alive when there is one? Unless there’s a major medical reason for one, isn’t it murder?! — Howard Gaines III
- Once you grow a uterus yourself, then you can chime in. Until then, mind your own business. — Denise Ginger Ginger
- Guess what? I can “grow a uterus,” so I can chime in. Most people at least see or know what their victim looks like before they do them in. The doctors are not holding you down against your will and making you look at a picture of your baby. They are giving you that option. I mean, if you’re ballsy enough to kill something living inside you, then you should be able to handle looking at it. Just saying. Don’t get your panties in a twist over an option in life. — Marla Carter
- Guys, it only says “offer,” not “force.” This isn’t going to restrict anybody from getting an abortion if they want one. Calm down. — Jaden Blondin
