Mom of Many mini-Coopers

The state of Virginia has passed a bill that it is mandatory for women to have an ultrasound before choosing to have an abortion. The ultrasound is external and there is an exception in cases of rape. The bill has been taken to the governors desk and is awaiting his signature. The women in Richmond, VA have been outraged over this bill. There were several arrests today of protesters on the steps of the capital building, and police were there in full riot gear!
I've heard the complaints of the women that the government has no right to tell them what to do with their own body. I've heard the complaints that making the decision to abort is hard enough without having to see it on an ultra sound, and women think it's cruelty. I get what they are saying, but what about the child who is being killed? Does that child have no rights? Did that child ask to be created? If a woman has the right to decide to kill her unborn child- then the least she can do is have to look at that baby before she does it! This in no way has infringed upon the rights of the woman to make the decision to abort her child, but only offers information that her baby is alive and kicking inside her- something she may not have realized before. If the woman changes her mind because of this there is another life saved! If the woman continues- there will be no more guilt present later then there would have been without it! If a woman does not truly want a child, they would be able to go through the pregnancy, hold that baby in their arms and then give it up for adoption. I believe most women who have abortions would have never done it if they were able to hold that child in their arms first. There is no harm doing an ultrasound to make sure a woman is not making a mistake, before changing her life and the life of her child forever! There are so many families and other women out there who can't have children and would do anything for an opportunity to adopt a child. If you really just don't want to have the baby and raise it on your own, at least give someone else the chance to give that child a better life.
