NARAL Calls Use of Ultrasound Machines a "Weapon"
by Tony Perkins
Editor's Note: Tony Perkins is the president of the Family Research
Council and a former Louisiana state Representative.
"They
don't want them to go to Planned Parenthood, where they'll get their
full range of options. They just want them to go to crisis pregnancy
centers, where women will be exposed to this weapon at taxpayer's expense."
So said NARAL Pro-Choice America's director of
government relations in response to legislation introduced by Rep. Cliff
Stearns (R-FL) that would assist pregnancy resource centers in purchasing
new 4-D ultrasound equipment for their facilities.
This incredible technology allows a mother the opportunity to see her
baby moving in real time, and allows them to see amazing detail of facial
and body features. Using this technology, parents are able to see their
unborn child move, cry and even smile.
Rep. Stearns likes to call the ultrasound equipment a "womb with a view." Under his legislation the government will pay part of the cost of the machine for non-profit pregnancy centers that provide ultrasounds for free. Even though abortion clinics receive taxpayer dollars they charge fees for ultrasounds, so abortion clinics are not eligible for these grants. That is why groups like NARAL and Planned Parenthood, who have profited from abortion for years, call this amazing tool a "weapon."
But I'm glad they recognize that the truth is a weapon, and I'm also glad it's a weapon they don't have. For years abortionists have misused medical technology to promote abortion, but new technology is showing just how barbaric abortion really is. The abortion lobby likes to argue that a fetus is merely a "blob of tissue," but 4-D ultrasound technology defeats that argument soundly - "blobs of tissue" don't smile.
We fully support Rep. Stearns' Informed Choice Act (H.R. 195) and ask that you call or e-mail your representatives in Congress to do the same. To send an e-mail to your elected officials, or to see more images from GE's new 4-D ultrasound machine, click the links below.
