The Dutch government introduced the 20-week ultrasound for all pregnant women in 2007. Since then, the number of abortions between weeks 20 and 24 have doubled. Some lawmakers are pushing to postpone the official ultrasound to the 24th week. If the proposal fails to get support, pro-life legislators would work to cap legal abortion at 18 weeks.
Experts have also concluded that the ultrasound was one reason there were no reports of euthanizing newborn babies in 2008, as children who would have been euthanized for severe birth defects instead were killed in the womb. LifeSiteNews
