This law seems disgusting and very draconian.
I do have a couple of questions:
1. Does anyone know the reason given by the government for the ultra-sound requirement? Is it perhaps to determine whether the abortion can be done without endangering the mother’s life?
2. Does anyone know if private insurance coverage will still be available for the procedure, albeit at perhaps a greater cost? Is this measure perhaps an attempt to isolate the risk and the cost of insurance?
