Over the years, one of my daughters has played a key role at a local Women Helping Center including serving as president of the board. If anyone would know the crucial importance of ultrasounds, it would be her and the staff. By making concrete what to a woman facing an untimely pregnancy is essentially an abstraction, ultrasounds dramatically change the decision- making calculus.
By slowing down the rush to death, ultrasounds offer an abortion-prone woman (or girl) a chance to catch her breath and calm her nerves. Which is why, of course, pro-abortionists loathe women helping center in general, ultrasounds in particular.
