seeing 'a baby' is different than seeing 'your baby' anyways, yes, everyone knows what an unborn baby looks like, 'but do you know what yours looks like?'

you make it sound like ultrasounds are super cheap and easy to get, like gift cards or something. if it's medically unnecessary, why bother doing one at all, just for it to be disposed of?

recycled, I said recycled. If they are required before an abortion the cost would go down. More people having them would mean less profit would be necessary on your single ultrasound

haha "This makes me happy!" well, im glad you are happy kevk.

the law sounds silly. if you want to prevent abortions legally, just call it murder. i hate silly games. i guess since its such a hot political issue, silly games must be played though.

have you not seen the many pictures posted here of 2 month old embryos? there's nothing distinguishing about it from other similar ultrasounds. what, are you going to look at an ultrasound of a 1 month old embryo and coo" but it has my EYES! and his NOSE! and my mother's CHIN! I can't abort it!" heh, at that point, they all look the same, a picture in a book will do

It would not have made a difference.

No ultrasound picture, sonographic heartbeat sounds, nothing.

You appear to be particularly bothered that at least 3 women have stated that they do not regret their decisions, even many years after the fact.

All women should be fully informed of all choices and of all risks and details regarding whatever choice they make.

They do not need to be subjected to tactics by the pro-life movement that are both medically unnecessary and emotionally coercive.

Let me know if you can distinguish specific facial or ethnic diversity in any of these images:

well, I do find it strange, because everyone I know that has had one did regret it, and the fact that it doesn't bother you makes it sound like you went in to get your nails done or something. I'd think whether you were pro-choice or pro-life itshould bother you to have one

An ultrasound should be required, IMO. Women should know that they're killing a person, and that it's not a euphemism soaked termination of some simple cell. Some of the comments on here have made it seem as if going to have an abortion should be like going to get a haircut. Just a simple, everyday decision. The fact is that an abortion DOES end a life. Whether or not you believe abortion should be legal or not, that fact is indisputable. At the very least, the baby being killed should have the dignity of being treated as a person before its life is ended.
