They know they ar epregant but they have not seen the baby and that all the law does. Your argument fails
I bet at the time most abortions are performed, no one could tell either the sex or race of the fetus. Bet they all look the same at 1-2-3 months gestation.
So, what's the point of looking at it, again?
Do I have to see my cancer before it's treated?
Do I have to see my broken bone before it's set?
Do I have to see my herniated disk before I can begin physical therapy?
If they know then why does looking at a sonogram hurt?
I didn't claim that it hurts. I just want to know why it is necessary for a lay person to look at an image destined for a medical professional.
You see, medical professionals allow lay people to look at sonogram images when the patients ask. This is done because expecting parents tend to be curious. However, from a medical standpoint, this is not necessary, it is simply a courtesy.
Some expecting parents are not interested in seeing such an image - they certainly can't be forced to look at the image, either.
looking at the sonogram isnt' the issue, nobody has to physically look. It's the point that one has to be scheduled, waited on, performed (it can be uncomfortable btw), and paid for.
But as far as this law goes it in no way stops a woman from getting an abortion
Texas already has a lot of legal requirements before an abortion. I assume the goal is to make abortion providers so frustrated that they just stop performing abortions.
It is so the woman has a full and conscious idea of what it is all about before she does it and that is not all bad.
There are many women years ago that had one done had not idea of what it entailed nor did they get counseling before hand and suffered from nightmares from it.

That's correct. It's just a road block, which is all you can do when you can't actually STOP anything by law. But games like that aren't impressive. It's a huge waste of time, energy, money, etc. However, I'm sure some lawyers have eternal job security becasue of it, so I guess that's something. When you hitch your wagon to a political football issue like this, and get paid for it, you never have to worry.

Explaining a D&C or other procedure and forcing a woman to look at a sonogram are really two different things. Forcing a woman to look at a sonogram explains exactly NOTHING.
Oh, and thanks for thinking women are so utterly stupid as to not have a 'full and conscious idea' of what an abortion is all about.
No, you can't put yourself in others' shoes when you do not even have a grasp on the realities of this world. Your statement that all women have parents and families to take care of them is just one GLARING example of that.
Responsible like you? How responsible would you be without your husband, your parents and your friends there to take care of you? How would you ever manage without someone to run to when things got tough?
OMG You are so good at doing research, why don't you find out how it is ILLEGAL to fire someone due to pregnancy status. If you have to take time off, you need to arrange it with your employer, not just not show up. THAT is what might get you fired, not b/c you are pregnant.
I WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN PREGNANT IF I DID NOT HAVE A HUSBAND! I also do not have my parents and friends to take care of me as we relocated cross-country right before I got pregnant. It can be done.
I do not live in Andrealand or fantasyland or whatever other rude comment you want to make. I live on planet Earth, where people are supposed to take responsibility for their actions.
It's happened before and it would happen again if women were denied abortions. Abortion is probably one of the oldest medical procedures. Consequences of a law do need to be considered.
How in God's name can a coat hanger cause an abortion? How does it get through the cervix and mucus plug??

What?!?!?!
How can you say that 'all women have parents and friends to care...' when you didn't, yourself!
