Texas Sonogram Abortion Bill Passed

Texas lawmakers have passed legislation requiring doctors to perform a sonogram at least 24 hours before conducting an abortion...Proponents say the law is necessary to make sure women understand what an abortion entails (WTF?!). Opponents say it would interfere in the doctor-patient relationship... a statement issued by NARAL Pro-Choice Texas, a non-profit state-wide organization, on the legislation: "Patrick consistently fails to publicly mention the hardship that the 24-waiting period between the sonogram and abortion will cause for those who live in the 93% of Texas counties that don't have an abortion provider. Indeed, this bill is designed to shame women, as if we are daft creatures unable to make personal, private medical decisions without the paternalistic oversight of legislators." ****My Body=My Right To Choose, Assholes****
