Please let us know when you have a name for your new website. I love the one you already have.
Have a good sleep.
The argument for banning ultrasounds isn't the "radiation", but rather the risk that use of such "tests" outside proper environments might cause an "incorrect" diagnosis. In particular, it may cause a pregnant woman to misdiagnose her mass of cells as being a baby.

That is priceless! Do you mind it I use it sometime?

Go ahead. >:*3 Worry about results first--credit afterward.
"Law could make ultrasound referral illegal for pro-life groups
Albany, New York, May. 27, 2004 (CWNews.com) - A bill before the New York Legislature would make it illegal for crisis pregnancy centers to refer pregnant women for ultrasounds. The bill was first proposed in April, but pro-life groups in New York have just recently make public warnings about it potential effect on their work.
The bill, proposed in the Assembly as AB10829 and in the Senate as SB6776, would only allow an ultrasound referral from licensed health care professionals. The putative reasoning behind the bill is to stop so-called "ultrasound boutiques," storefront services that allow women to receive a sonogram of their children, not for a specific medical reason, but for "entertainment" purposes.
LOOKS LIKE PP HAS BEEN HARD AT WORK! ONE STATE TO THE NEXT!
And Illinois claims they don't know anything about these crisis centers??/ PHOOOEY!

Yikes!! NYS is my state. No surprise, though. REPUBLICAN Governor Pataki is pro-abortion.
If the Republican Party has a pro-life platform, why do they keep backing pro-aborts, like Arnold S. and Pataki?
I have a feeling that I will be using it soon, and I will say that my friend said: ........, as pro-lifers are my friends.

" WELL, the KEEPSAKE *MOVIES* began in HOSPITALS "
***Actually you are incorrect. What the hospitals did and still do is to provide a couple of pics that are taken in the course of a medically necessary ultrasound exam. The sole purpose of the ultrasound is diagnostics, not personal satisfaction for parents.
Priorty....Diagnostics...Hospital
Entertainment..."boutiques"...profit (non-medical, unessential exposure to ultrasound.
Do you want your local Walmart to start doing ultrasounds at the portrait studio?***
I REALLY hate to tell you this, but I'm NOT wronng. Yes, that was THEN, movies are NOW and they are conducted and SOLD as an OPTIONAL keepsake. I was upset, because my OB/GYN didn't offer that yet, but they stated it would be available in the near future.
So, this BILL will need to include the *movie-keepsake* business, which the OB/GYN's created.
"You appear to be trying to fan flames of a fabricated issue, fabricated by PP-hood because the humanity of the alive unborn is so clearly shown in the NON-INVASIVE, SAFE newest ultrasound technology."
I suppose George W Bush was advocating abortion when he signed similiar legislation in Texas....
ANNOUNCEMENT: GEORGE W. BUSH IS PRO-ABORTION!!!!!
"My real agenda is to see how many unborn children I can get exposed to danger."
Yes, I know. You've made it very apparent.
Oh, by the way...George W. Bush signed similiar legislation in the State of Texas during his term as Governor.
When are you going to make the accouncement that George W. Bush is Pro-abortion and advancing the cause of Planned Parenthood?

LOL Oh how TRUE! :)
I HAVE A QUESTION AND I WOULD LIKE EVERYONE'S INPUT!
BTW, I'M NOT SCREAMING (THIS TIME). I'M TRYING TO BE *NOTICED* LOL CAN EVERYONE SEE ME? :)
OKAY, HOW CAN WE DEVELOP A STORY FOR THE MEDIA, IN TERMS OF THIS *BILL*? I GUESS WHAT I MEAN....WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS, THAT I THINK PERHAPS WE NEED TO MAKE SOME *NOISE* IN ILLINOIS! YOU KNOW, THE DEAFENING SOUND OF THE WARRIORS MARCHING IN FOR THE BATTLE? :)
OPINIONS, SUGGESTIONS, ETC... WHATCHYA THINK? ;)
Agreed. Perhaps this is the language we need to include in our letters.
Father Pavone calls this the MOST IMPORTANT VOTE, so please get your friends to call.
ACTION: You can reach your senators through the Capitol Switchboard today, or any day, at (202) 224-3121. Just dial this number and ask to be transferred to your Senator's office. You'll have to call twice in order to place a call to each of your two Senators. (You can get direct contact information for both of your home state Senators at the website, judicialnetwork.org, as well.) If you call the main switchboard, simply ask for the Senator you are calling, and when that Senator's office answers, explain that you support a return to the constitutional tradition of a fair up-or-down vote on judicial nominees and an end to the filibuster of judges. We recommend that you also call the local state office of your Senator with the same message.
It is even more powerful if you pay a visit to the local state office to register your concern.
If the main number is constantly busy, it might be easier to call your U.S. Senators directly.

Actuallly, THIS was my final draft, as oppose to the *final draft* I posted here yesterday.
Dear Senator,
I am writing in regards to House Bill 2492, which is *supposedly* intended to focus on the *ULTRA SOUND KEEPSAKE* (Entertainment) business aspect, yet the
language in this bill has been painted with a far too broad a brush, with obvious underlying ulterior motives, which does not pertain to just the *ultra
sound* entertainment business industry.
First of all, I do not see any specific conclusive evidence, which has been utilized by the author (s) of this bill, to support the specific language describing the allegations raised relative to the specific *intent* of this law, as it pertains to a *ULTRA SOUND ENTERTAINMENT & KEEPSAKE* business and subsequent danger to the normal development of the unborn child.
Given that there are no conclusive findings from any specific study cited to provide a foundation for the creation of this Bill, hence, determining and
supporting the allegations raised by this Bill’s author (s) , I find the author’s (s) supposed *original* intent to be quite disingenuous, since this bill is somehow supported on specific language relative to the outcome
perspective of some related *study* conducted, which supposedly raises the danger of ULTRA SOUND exposure to developing babies, which seems to be the specific foundation for creating this bill, yet no study which can support the allegations of the dangers involved in the ultra sounds of pregnant woman, can
be found within the context of this Bill.
If the intent is to truly ban the use of ULTRA SOUNDS for
*entertainment-keepsake* purposes, until such time as the use of ultra sounds can be determined to be 100% safe to the normal development of the unborn child, then it would behoove the citizens of Illinois, to have this BILL also ban the use of Ultra Sound use across the board, unless of course, the only intent of this BILL, is to eliminate any unnecessary, *possible* risk to the development of the unborn baby, by it’s use as a source of entertainment.
In any event, the language will need to be changed for the purpose of clarifying this BILL’S specific intent, as oppose to leaving the language in it’s current state, which is clearly open to subjective interpretation. In
addition, the BILL must also include language which will also ban the use of ULTRA SOUND for the purpose of *MOVIE-ENTERTAINMENT-KEEPSAKES*, as it now applies to HOSPITAL/MATERNITY WARDS AND OB/GYN CLINICS across the country, including the State of Illinois, given it was these medical facilities, which were the catalyst of the ultra sound *Movie-Entertainment-Keepsake* business.
Therefore, until such time as the language of this BILL is written to specifically target the purpose of the intended *entertainment & keepsakes* business, this BILL, as it is, may well violate, trample and infringe on the
rights of Illinois business entrepreneurs, as well as the inalienable rights of each citizen within the State of Illinois , to make an independent, concise and
informed PERSONAL/FAMILY decision!
In other words, this BILL as it is written in its current context, clearly allows the GOVERNMENT to step in, trample, hinder and interfere with Personal and Family matters, in addition to those respective decisions.
Sincerely,
*Another point, is how they could actually have the AUDACITY to attempt to make this a CRIMINAL OFFENSE.....when it's based on (their own) hypothesis and yet, haven't provided any direct, concrete proof to back the *facts* of this *hypothesis*, which they've obviously used as their foundation?
It's INSANE!
