Another option

This bill allows pregnant women unsure of what to do to be able to see what is going on inside of them by getting an ultrasound or to be able to hear the beating heart of their baby in the womb. Where this has been done, 95 percent of the moms chose to keep their babies and not abort.

It brings reality and the heart into the situation. To be able to see the life that is growing inside them and is a part of them, helps them see things differently. It would cost less to provide this service compared to the cost of an abortion, not to mention the cost of future emotional regrets. You may meet someone one day who turns out to be your best friend or your spouse who will say that his or her mother was helped by such a service and it saved their life. Make a difference and contact your senator by e-mails, phone calls and letters.
