Sentinel Source: Women seeking abortions at Whole Woman’s Health in south Fort Worth often arrive upset or angry about Texas’ new sonogram law, which began being fully enforced three weeks ago, a health center official says.
Some are unhappy about the requirement that a physician must describe the fetus during a sonogram. But it’s the hardship of having to schedule two appointments — one for the sonogram and another for the surgery at least 24 hours later — that draws the most consistent ire.
Proponents of the law, however, say the delay merely guarantees that women have complete and informed consent before making a potentially life-altering decision.
