Senator Introduces Bill to Require Abortion Centers to Show Moms Ultrasound of Their Baby by Steven Ertelt for Life News
Tomorrow, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. will introduce the Ultrasound Informed Consent Act which among other provisions, would require abortion centers to perform an obstetric ultrasound and make audible the live heartbeat of an unborn baby before a woman gives informed consent to an abortion.
“As an OBGYN who delivered thousands of babies, I never imagined I would be fighting harder in the Senate than I did in the ER and delivery room to protect mothers and babies,” said Senator Marshall. “I’m proud to lead on legislation that strikes at the abortion industry’s efforts to keep the truth from women by requiring mothers to be informed of their baby’s development and hear their heartbeat before consenting to an abortion. As a healthcare provider, it’s the least you can do to protect the safety and wellbeing of women and their unborn children.”
This legislation is cosponsored by Senators Marsha Blackburn (TN), Mike Braun (IN), Bill Cassidy (LA), Ted Cruz (TX), Steve Daines (MT), Cindy Hyde-Smith (MS), Jim Inhofe (OK), Cynthia Lummis (WY), Mike Rounds (SD), Rick Scott (FL) and James Lankford (OK).

Advocacy groups who have endorsed the Ultrasound Informed Consent Act include the National Pro-Life Alliance, National Right to Life, March for Life, Susan B. Anthony List, Students for Life, Family Research Council, Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and the Catholic Medical Association.
“An ultrasound is one of the most powerful tools for humanizing the unborn. In fact, one study showed that up to 78% of abortion-minded mothers chose life after seeing an ultrasound of their child. By guaranteeing that mothers see their unborn children and hear their little hearts beating, the Ultrasound Informed Consent Act has the potential to save thousands of innocent lives,” said Martin Fox, President of the National Pro-Life Alliance.
