Texas to force women to have abortions going to hear a description of the fetus

The State of Texas, 25 million people, has placed a new obstacle to women who have taken the decision to abort. Appealing to the maternal feelings, Republicans in the state legislature last week approved a standard by which any woman about abortion in a clinic must look at a sonogram of her fetus and hear a detailed description of him by a physician, will tell you where your head, joints, arms and internal organs.

Later, the woman must wait 24 hours to submit to abortion. The governor, Republican Rick Perry, will ratify the standard in the coming days. "It'sa great day for the health of women and unborn children of the State of Texas, said last May 4, when the standard was approved by Houston Sen.

Dan Patrick, who thanked" the groups anti-abortionists who helped draft the legislation for their unwavering support over the past four years. " "This standard will improve the health of women in Texas, and give them the information they deserve through counseling consented, without doubt, saved thousands of innocent lives." Are now a dozen states in the U.S.

that require pre-abortion ultrasounds. But none, except Texas and, previously, Oklahoma, forcing the mother to hear a detailed description of the fetus. Last year Oklahoma passed its law, which expressly stated that there would be exceptions in cases of incest or rape. Another rule adopted on the same day, the Congress of that state forbade women to sue gynecologists after giving birth if they consider these possible hidden defects in the fetus.

In the Texas case, ultrasound is always required, but preclude its medical description of rape victims, the children and those mothers whose fetus with a malformation. The pro-abortion group Center for Reproductive Rights took the Oklahoma law courts on the grounds that threatens the freedom of women and the right to freedom of expression of the doctors.

Announced that it will take similar measures in the case of Texas. Another similar group, NARAL issued a statement criticizing the Texas law "avoid mentioning the hard times that waiting period of 24 hours between the ultrasound and induced abortion on those living in 93% of counties Texas there are no clinics where abortions are performed.

" In fact, "he adds," The law is designed to humiliate women, like dumb creatures, incapable of making personal and private medical decisions without the paternalistic control of the legislators. "
