Ultrasound bill was sound

Often, in a vacuum of information, mothers choose abortion and later wonder in anguish why nobody told them the truth. The ultrasound bill had the potential to prevent that and save the life of their baby.

Ultrasound: the unbiased picture worth a thousand words. Women have a right to choose and should have a right to see all the facts.

Abortion is an elective procedure. It is very common for medical requirements to be in place for any number of elective decisions a citizen can choose.

Ultrasound is nonjudgmental scientific information that can empower a woman. So empowered that she might exercise her freedom of choice and terminate the abortion procedure.

Abortion businesses cannot tolerate women walking out the door; neither can the entire pro-abortion ideology.

Planned Parenthood, the ACLU and some reporters blasted fear, misinformation and chaos into the dialogue.

Senators who cast a “yes” vote did so responsibly. Their calculus included facts, knowledge that women deserve the truth, and pro-woman, pro-life principles.

We can be proud to have them represent us.

They knew that the ultrasound bill could protect Idaho women from the agony of an uninformed decision and protect unborn babies from a silent scream.
