Seeing Is Believing

From the Telegraph:
Texas forces mothers seeking abortions to view image of unborn child

The state of Texas is to enforce a law requiring abortion doctors to show a woman an ultrasound of her foetus before allowing her to go ahead with the operation.

The law, enacted in 2011, requires abortion providers to perform an ultrasound on pregnant women, show and describe the image to them, and play sounds of the foetal heartbeat.

Though women can decline to view images or hear the heartbeat, they must listen to a description of the exam.
