I can't believe I'm ranting about the liberal media.

A lot of controversy has arisen over requiring transvaginal ultrasounds prior to an abortion. Or, for that matter, making the woman look at her ultrasound photo at all (which I can't say I have a problem with...people should know what they're really doing during a termination).

I spoke with a woman who is a nurse and has assisted or performed in abortions*. The TV ultrasound isn't some optional way to shame a woman, it's the only way to determine fetal age during the first trimester. And this is rather important as it determines what procedure can be used (or even if they can perform the abortion at all).

The abortion industry is clearly not very well regulated, if rules like this need to be enacted in the first place. And based on some of the slaughterhouses that have made the news in the past year, this is hardly surprising!


*if you are so inclined, please pray for Ann in Seattle, that she may have a change of heart and no longer agree to terminate pregnancies.
