Uninformed Consent

A new bill is proposed in South Carolina that would require that abortionists show women their fetus (i.e. their developing child) prior to performing an abortion. This has pro-abortionists all a-twitter. In a piece on ABC News.com, pro-abortionists complain that doing so might confuse women with information, by forcing them to get a "medically unnecessary" ultrasound before having their "medically unnecessary" abortion...
"Politicians should not require a doctor to perform a medically unnecessary ultrasound, nor should they force a woman to view an ultrasound against her will," said Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America in Washington, D.C.

"The women of South Carolina would rather talk to their doctor about information they need to make private, personal medical decisions. This is not a place for interference by politicians," said Keenan.

I guess this is the real question: How is it bad when making a "choice" to have all the information before making that "choice"? Unless it is not really about choice at all...

The other thing that is so incredibly arrogant is the statement about what the women of South Carolina would rather do, especially since Nancy Keenan lives in Washington, D.C. Could it be that some women in South Carolina support this idea? I am pretty sure that even in backwards states like South Carolina, people get to vote, in fact there is a democratic process in place for this very type of legislation. But NARAL and company have never been about choice. They seek to thwart the right of the people to decide issues whenever they can, whether at the ballot box or afterwards in the judiciary. This is all about cheapening life, choosing convenience over conscience and feeding the coffers of abortionists, no matter what the cost in psychological damage to women and the blood of innocents shed on the gruesome altar of the god known as "choice". God have mercy on this nation and on us for allowing this to happen.
