Not-Too-Informed Consent : Moral Outcry

Not-Too-Informed Consent

By Ian Kelly • January 27, 2010 02:07 PM

Frankfort (KY.) - Women seeking an abortion would be provided with an ultrasound and explanation of what’s shown in that ultrasound under legislation passed by the Senate Monday.

Senate Bill 38, sponsored by Sen. Elizabeth Tori, R-Radcliff, would also specify In law that the physician-patient meeting held before an abortion be conducted in person rather than via phone or videoconference.

"Senate Bill 38 addresses a health and public safety issue in relation to abortion," Tori said. "An ultrasound is nothing more than an X-ray in motion."

The bill would require the doctor or a certified technician working with the doctor to conduct an ultrasound and explain various aspects of the fetus’ location and condition. The patient would be able to view the image, but would not be required to.

(Full Story)

Many pro-abortion folk think this an outrage because... well, I'm not sure why.

Planned Parenthood is consistently talking about the need for women to be informed and educated. But when is comes to ultrasounds education is bad. Could it be because close to 80 percent of women change their minds about having an abortion once they see an ultrasound of their child (aka fetus or baby)

Does Planned Parenthood really loathe informed consent? Maybe they would prefer it be more like not-too-informed consent....

Christina Martin is the director of Bound4Life Atlanta and an intercessory missionary at the International House of Prayer Atlanta. For the past 4 years Christina has given herself to the occupation of intercession. It’s her full time job to stand before heaven and earth, God and man, asking for mercy and crying out for truth. She prays, God hears, He moves, She is happy.

Christina is committed to fighting for the unborn. She feels for them because she herself had an appointment to die. Literally. 28 years ago her mother was sitting in a hospital room, waiting for the abortion doctor to call her into his office. An elderly black janitor saw her mom crying and asked her one question “Do you want to have this baby”? Her mom said yes, and the rest was history. She walked out of that clinic with hope in her heart and Christina still safely in her womb.

While in D.C God gave Christina a burden for the African-American community. She was shocked to find out how her race has been targeted by Planned Parenthood from the start of their organization. Christina is convinced she will see Roe v. Wade overturned and abortion end in her lifetime.
