...requiring abortion providers to perform an ultrasound and explain it to a woman before having an abortion...U.S. District Judge Catherine Eagles found that a state does not have "the power to compel a health care provider to speak, in his or her own voice, the state's ideological message in favor of carrying a pregnancy to term."

What does explaining a medical test in medical and scientific terms to a woman have to do with a state's "ideological" message?

Isn’t withholding medical information a crime?

"What does explaining a medical test in medical and scientific terms to a woman have to do with a state's "ideological" message?"

Nothing and everything. In other words, ALL law involves an implicit or explicit "ideology," but citizens are required to follow the law even if they disagree with it. This does not violate their "free speech." No doctor is compelled to make any anti-abortion comments, he is just required to perform the exam. The judge is an idiot.
