Robb said:I should clarify what I am saying. I am not saying take a new sonogram but show a picture of a sonogram of a typical fetus at how many weeks the mother is along.
That said, It is the same thing as when a county mandates a gang member tour the morgue as part of their sentence to show them exactly what they are involved with. |
Well, first off, people seeking an abortion have not commited a crime.
Second, I'll ask again, why do you want to force people to look at a dot on a sonogram picture? What you really want, I suspect, is to force them to look at a late term sonogram for the emotional impact. All of that data is, however, already freely available to anyone who wants to look at it.

Some of the latest research seems to indicate that the pain part is, and then some, even if a heartbeat and brainwaves can usually be detected by seven weeks (not eight, as I'd said).

Actually, brainwaves come rather late in the pregnancy. Consistently, not until some time the third trimester.
Neural activity about the same time as heartbeat. Indeed, there would be no heartbeat without it, but neural activity is a far cry from regular bainwaves.
Edit:
Link to an analyze of brain-wave research relevant to this discussion.

What a shame, I believe many conservative Christians would learn a lot from it. |

You know what? Your suggestion is bullshit Rob. Since you don't agree that any abortion is okay and made statements to that affect, why would you even propose such a stupid requirement to get an abortion?
What you really want is a total ban on abortions if what you said in the Ron Paul thread is true. You even put it at the top of your list as a the number one reason for who will get your vote!
Robb:
I will only support a candidate that is interested in stopping all abortions, making them illegal is only 10% of the solution. I am sure that abortion has been discussed to great length on this board and this is probably not the thread to do it. (but I will a little)It all hinges on whether one believes a fetus is a person or not. I do, so you can see why it affects me. |
.
So why even bring this up? Are you willing to change your position on abortions if ultrasound exam's were required before getting one? If a person takes that information and goes in a direction that you don't approve of, are you willing to let it go?
You know what your goal is. So why the bullshit? I submit that you don't actually support what you are suggesting and you are engaging in a less than honest ploy to get what you really want, which is not about information so much as it is about taking another step toward turning this country into a theocracy.
And you have the nerve to complain about atheist indoctrination in another thread when what you would do is make your religious beliefs the law of the land. Give me a break!

I don't support such a requirement. It's their business, not mine and not the government's. |

Do you think they should have all the knowledge they can before an abortion? Should they be required to take an anatomy and physiology class? You know, so they know everything there is to know about a gestational human before they make this decision.
Perhaps they should also be required to take an economics class, a personal finance class, a sociology class, a pre-natal and post-natal mental development class, see a social worker and a psychologist to help make sure they have every scrap of information about themselves, their relationship, the culture of the United States, and child development they might possibly need to make this decision. They should also be screened for anxiety, stress and depression and administered proper treatment before any decision is made as well. Don't you think? |

If you don't want to or cannot take cae of a child then you need to choose to not have sex.

Even though sex is bad in religion's eyes, we all know that with enough money in a oligarchy you can buy anything. Especially in a religious oligarchy like the US. |

No. I just want to be able to talk to my children after the class in my own home about anything they have questions about or anything we feel needs to be clarified in terms of what our family believes. |

And you don't have that capability now..... why?
Any school is usually quite willing to share their methodologies and teaching materials with parents. Is there some reason you would not be able to take this upon yourself to be informed of what your children are being taught? Is there some reason that you cannot broach these subjects with your children? |
