I would love to see the details of that survey. If the survey was taken of those who had gone to Care Net facilities, then I have to wonder how seriously they were considering an abortion.Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-34683039158961610492012-03-18T21:20:47.997-06:002012-03-18T21:20:47.997-06:00A large number of crisis pregnancy centers (who do...A large number of crisis pregnancy centers (who do not do or refer women for abortion) do provide ultrasounds to women who agree to them. A large number decide to keep their babies or give them up for adoption as a result of viewing the images...not just a few. "A 2005 survey by Care Net, a network of about 1,000 antiabortion pregnancy centers in the United States and Canada, based in Sterling, Va., found that "72 percent of women who were initially 'strong leaning' toward abortion decided to carry their pregnancies to term after seeing a sonogram."

The ultrasound is not a "procedure" in the sense of altering in any way the body - it is a measurement.<br /><br />Certainly it would be better to outlaw some or all abortions, but SCOTUS made that impossible with the execrable series of decisions starting with Griswold.StormCchaserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02998174514362089471noreply@blogger.com
