Abortion

Today on the radio I heard that South Carolina is going to be the only state to REQUIRE a woman considering an abortion to have an ultra sound and see the baby first. There was only one caller that didn't think that requiring a ultra sound before an abortion was a good idea.

Her argument was that her sister was date raped at the age of 22 and that women who are raped should not have to bare the emotional pain of seeing the unborn baby. The radio host's comeback on that is that didn't does make the abortion any different, you are still killing an unborn child, and that having an abortion is more emotionally harmful to a woman than having the baby and giving the child up for adoption. The woman ended up trying to debate abortion and not if an ultra sound should be required for women considering abortion. She tried to pull the ole "when does "it"(a terrible word for a child,babe,fetus), she end up hanging up and not finishing her argument. Another good point the radio host made, is that why should an unborn child suffer from a bad date?

Anyways, I don't think that it would be such a bad idea to have the women who are cosidering abortion see the life that they are about abort. Heck why don't we let them hear the heart beat, so they know for sure that what they are about to do is kill an innocent life.
