No! Because forcing them to look at a picture or hear the heartbeat is an attempt to make an already difficult situation even more so. Just another right wing, christian attempt at controlling a woman's body.
Nobody is forcing them to do anything but look at a picture.
We have already seen pictures of fetuses......EVERYWHERE.....on TV, in magazines, posters on the Dr's office walls, in brochures, in biology books in school, on the internet.
Do you really think women don't know what a fetus looks like?

You mean the decision to get an abortion is one women think carefully about, but you don't want them to think *too much* about it.
Again. This kind of debate on abortion all comes down to the premise that women are incapable of making their own decisions without special assistance from the state.
If a woman believes it is important to view an ultrasound to make a decision then she should be able to. If not then that should be allowed as well. What it comes down to is allowing a woman to choose which information she wishes to consider in making a decision.
The fact of the matter is with no other right is their this much interference. There is no law that requires voters to read information about candidates provided by the state, there is no law that mandates state approved pre-marital counciling, there is no law that requires you study about other countries before you may attain a passport. It is only with the right to control reproduction that these kind of odious requirements are even considered.
No, you imply they lose their ability to reason after they see a picture.
I maintain if they are capable of that, they can handle a picture.
