 Kentucky May Require Women to View Ultrasounds Prior to an Abortion
Kentucky May Require Women to View Ultrasounds Prior to an Abortion
"The woman still would have the right to avert her eyes under this legislation. There's nothing that would require her to actually look at the ultrasound image."

WTF? So the father gets off with nothing? Yeah, that's fair. picked by tundramonkey 10 months ago

When the topic of abortion comes up people always are determined to make the moral point. I am not saying the moral point does not matter but the question we should be asking is; should our government / lawmakers make this decision for us?...the answer is NO!!! The bottom line is that the women should be free to make these choices on our own. I hate this mentality that woman should be instructed what to do with our bodies because we just can't figure it out on our own. If a woman has made the decision to have an abortion it probably was preceded by many hours of heartache and contemplation...the lawmakers need to respect that. I know great strong women who have had to make this difficult choice despite of the angry bitter doctors and mean pro-lifers breathing down their necks, no one should have to go through that. Of course there will always be extenuating circumstances and young women (teenagers) should have some type of guidance available to them to deal with whatever mental and emotional challenges that comes after, but telling them they have no options is a worse fate. Just because they say it is illegal does not mean that it will stop (like the war on drugs)...it will just drive women to unsafe medical facilities and social pariah out to make a quick buck on desperate females. I better stop now…I think that is enough of my pro-choice opinion for the day.

« abandonedcouch : Kudos to you for doing what I couldn't. Good luck with your pregnancy!

I agree that it depends on the individual. I was, at the time, a hopelessly immature girl with a mess of a life and a bit of a cocaine and alcohol problem. It's hard now, taking pictures of adorable little kids and their doting parents for a living and thinking about what I gave up. But I also get the poor girls stuck with a**hole guys who've knocked them up and you can actually see the resentment between them and for their child in their family pictures. I definitely want children some day, but seeing situations like that make me glad that I ended mine when I did.
Yes,and it will all work out when the time is right, and at least you will know that your child will be happy and stable when you do decide to have children. Its such a touchy subject that sometimes people are too judgmental about, but more power to you for making your own decisions for yourself that you know is right for YOU, and not because people were pressuring you to do something you knew wasent right at the time.
