The Abortion Sonogram law was passed at the
beginning of June to make pregnant mothers who want an abortion undergo a
series of steps to have this completed. These steps include a sonogram to hear
a beating heart and listening to a description of the fetus by a doctor and
then having to wait 24hrs before getting the procedure done. In the Texas Tribune, this article “CourtroomBattle Begins on Abortion Sonogram Law” demonstrates how vague this law was
written and how it has no definite description of how this law is supposed to
enforced. The law was accepted and passed by our governor Rick Perry. No more
than a month later did Center for Reproductive
Rights file an injunction. The law violates the Equal Protection Clause and
the First Amendment causing doctors to act as puppets and tell patients
something politically driven. I do have on question for this law. What is
the definition of an abortion pertaining to this law? Is it a wanted abortion
or one that cannot be avoided?
