Planned Parenthood Goes to Court to Deny Women an Ultrasound of Their Baby Before Abortion
by Micaiah Bilger, Life News:
Planned Parenthood lawyers urged a federal court Monday to block an Indiana law that requires the abortion industry to give women an ultrasound of their unborn child at least 18 hours before an abortion.
One of the abortion group’s objections is that its Indiana facilities do not have enough ultrasound machines, causing women to wait longer for an abortion, Courthouse News reports. Planned Parenthood and the ACLU argued their case before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday.
Indiana has long required that an ultrasound be done before an abortion, but, in 2016, the law was updated to require that the ultrasound be done at least 18 hours before an abortion. Women also are required to received informed consent information at least 18 hours prior to an abortion.
The abortion chain sued, and a federal judge blocked the law in April.
