Abortion-Rights Group Files Lawsuit Over Sonogram Bill

Abortion-Rights Group Files Lawsuit Over Sonogram Bill — Abortion Sonogram Bill | The Texas Tribune: The Center for Reproductive Rights, a national abortion-rights advocacy group, has filed suit over Texas' newly signed abortion sonogram law, alleging it violates the First Amendment rights of the doctor and the patient. The suit alleges that the sonogram requirement violates the constitutional rights of both the doctor and the patient by 'forcing physicians to deliver politically-motivated communications to women regardless of the woman's wishes.' It also charges that the law discriminates against women by 'subjecting them to paternalistic 'protections' not imposed on men.'
