>>FACT: 90% of abortion-minded women choose to carry their pregnancy to term after receiving counseling and viewing an ultrasound.>>

That is incorrect. Before being pro-life, I went with several friends to procure abortions over the years. Their counseling consisted of written literature and knowledge of how to care for their bodies after the procedure. There was no visual or graphic explanation of what would happen beyond calling the whole thing just ‘a procedure.’

That is one reason why I would fight for a law requiring each woman watch a video of the procedure to fulfill a full disclosure between doctor and patient.

I agree. That is the whole point of "Option Ultrasound". They work to get ultrasounds installed in Pregnancy Crisis Centers for the purpose of showing women their babies. This program is the archrival of organizations such as Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.
