Ooooh okay so it's just for women who are going through the ultrasound/testing for an abortion? I understand. Yes, that's still dumb as IDKW but not on as wide-spread of a scale as I was thinking. I thought the law was for
all expecting women who are seeing an OBGYN for a prenatal check-up (that a doc is clear to NEVER reveal birth defects so a woman who finds her baby isn't as healthy as she thought won't then decide to abort). Still, that's seriously messed up.
ETA: As far as law #1, I see both sides to it. I see that the gov't is trying to make women understand the gravity of the decision they're about to make, but it's a solid argument that it's not the gov't's place to "make" women understand anything. That can be seen as overstepping a line and can further traumatize an already traumatized woman/girl. I say "can be seen" because there are undoubtedly people who see it as just the opposite--there had to be for this darn thing to have passed.
