But to force a mother to go through anything she does not agree to, is utterly and completely ridiculous. Its astonishing to hear conservatives argue for this idea, while in any other issue it would have you and fox news screaming bloody murder in outrage of the government over stepping its bounds into the doctors office.
Let the doctor do their job, and let the patient have their rights. |
Just to be clear, she's not forced to look at the sonogram nor hear the hearbeat. However, I don't see what's the problem with telling her what stage of development the baby is in. When making big decisions like this I think an informed decision is good.
As for why conservatives argue this, well I can't speak for all conservatives, however, I consider it a murder of a child. Therefore why would I be upset if the government is trying to stop a murder.
