However, what we have in this Sonogram legislation is a bill that could possibly save the lives of some of the unborn, but the legislation keeps the practice of abortion legitimized. As my 16 year old son identified this morning; if this legislation passes it will satisfy many because they will believe they've done all they can and abortionists will work to find ways around the sonogram law similar to the story in Pennsylvania where the abortionist and his staff found ways around their laws and eventually broke laws to kill babies at will. Let's strip this Sonogram bill down to the bare bones issue and remove all our presuppositions. The baby in the womb is a person guaranteed the same Constitutional rights as all other persons; the only difference is its size, level of development and dependence on others. Let's make this more personal as well; say we are talking about one baby and you are the grandparent, brother or sister, or father of a mother who has chosen abortion for her child, your child, your sibling. What would you want done then? Would you be satisfied with the mother having a sonogram and then making her choice or would you want something more? If you are truly pro-life you would declare that child to be a person; you would fight for its unborn life with everything you had in you; you would not make a compromise in the life of this precious child. It seems to me citizens in the pro-life movement need to grow more bold and stop allowing politicians to hide behind legislation that allows abortion to continue all the while they wave the pro-life banner like they are some hero to be exalted. What would happen if there was a coalition of pro life politicians that stood up and demanded personhood? Well 2 already have in the Senate at the federal level. Governor Perry is pushing this Sonogram Bill in Texas and pro lifers cheer him. Surely folks you see what this is, nothing more than a position that allows Perry to offend neither side, choice or life, but he will wave the banner of<br />pro-life proudly all the while an unborn baby in Texas can be aborted up to 30 weeks, all the while Houston, Texas boasts one of the largest abortion facilities in the United States, all the while many millions of dollars are allocated to Planned Parenthood in the Texas budget from year to year. I'm not buying the politics of any of it, pro-lifers need to wake up and get on the side of absolute truth. There is NO COMPROMISE on the issue of life PERIOD! Pro-choice legislation is not pro-life!<br /><br />Julia FarmerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106344049458607865.post-13494059503962930172011-01-29T10:52:53.643-08:002011-01-29T10:52:53.643-08:00I agree w/ Deborah; we need to educate people.

If everyone has to see the image, how many more people's hearts will be changed?christine alcortanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106344049458607865.post-56902453511746859832011-01-28T22:36:29.549-08:002011-01-28T22:36:29.549-08:00I understand your point and your frustration.

Until we do, women will be going to these clinics and more babies will be killed. The sonogram will have the effect of stopping the murder of some innocent lives and the potential for educating many people about what abortion really is.<br /><br />If I were a legislator and knew that by passing this bill lives will be saved that will not be otherwise, I'd have to sign the legislation.Deborah TeSellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106344049458607865.post-66164794117490815212011-01-28T22:16:05.875-08:002011-01-28T22:16:05.875-08:00Dan I agree with you.
