On the slim chance that you really haven’t thought this through.
So you think a woman who has been raped, who knows the child she is carrying has a terrible defect, or whose own health will suffer if she continues a pregnancy (think about cancer treatments…) needs an ultrasound of any sort whatsoever? And a doctor who is required to tell her about the baby’s toes and heartbeat, but not necessarily the fact that her fetus will never have more than a brain stem? There aren’t any noticeable exceptions in this law. And oh yeah, no malpractice insurance for the doctor?
