PROPOSED LAW WOULD RESTRICT ULTRASOUND IN ILLINOIS

By Michelle Malkin  •  April 17, 2005 03:17 PM

Pro-abortion forces in Illinois make it a criminal offense get a bill through the House that would prohibit an ultrasound from being administered without a doctor’s order, the Illinois Leader reports. Bryan Preston notes:

Why would Planned Parenthood, an industry leader that aborts children and makes millions doing it, care a bit about the safety of children in the womb? Simple. It’s hard to see an ultrasound and remain pro-choice. Once you see that your potentially aborted wad of tissues has fingers, toes, eyes and a nose and all the rest it becomes a person in your mind, and that makes you less likely to become one of Margaret Sanger’s company’s customers.

Meanwhile, in Indiana, House legisalators overwhelmingly approved a bill that would require abortion providers to tell a woman she can see an ultrasound or hear the fetus’s heartbeat, if there is one, before an abortion is carried out.

Correction, 4:50 pm: The Illinois bill passed the House but has not yet become law. The title of this entry has been changed accordingly. (Thanks to Luke Blanshard.)
