Abortion | South Carolina lawmakers hope an ultrasound law will persuade women to choose life | Jamie Dean

Marie Connelly has only one picture of her child. An abortionist at a Planned Parenthood center in South Carolina produced the ultrasound image to confirm Connelly's pregnancy moments before her abortion four years ago. Connelly recently went back to the center to ask for the picture, which was still on file. She wishes she had seen it before her abortion: "I would have crumbled."

Connelly now works for the Palmetto Family Council, a pro-life group in Columbia, S.C., that is marshalling support for a bill that would require a woman to view an ultrasound image of her unborn child before having an abortion. The South Carolina House passed the legislation on March 21. If the Senate passes the bill in early April as expected, South Carolina will be the first state in the nation with the requirement.
