Chloe, I strongly agree with many of the points you made in your "The Bright Side Of Suffering" article posted on your blog. Your passion for women's suffrage is something I can understand and this is a serious issue that should be dealt with. I agree with the point made in regards to the law passed that requires a sonogram 24 hours prior to an abortion. It seems wrong and unjust. The ethos persuasion tactic used by the government to try and prevent abortion is unconventional.
A similar article posted on ';We Have No Choice': One Woman's Ordeal with Texas' New Sonogram Law addresses the same issues with the new Texas Abortion Law. A point made in the article that I strongly agree with was the fact that the sonogram law passed isn't effective in instances where the mother must terminate a baby that is terminally ill. The emotional tactic the government uses makes the experience much more traumatic then necessary. It is even worse in a situation like in this article, where the choice had to be made for specific health reasons. The mothers states "But what good is the view of someone who has never had to make your terrible choice?" in other words, officials that have passed this law cannot comprehend the difficulties a mother deals with when aborting a child.
In conclusion to the points discussed above, the new sonogram requirement for an abortion is unnecessary and emotionally scarring. Although Texas government finds it its duty to persuade women to refrain from having an abortion, I don't believe their strategy is morally just. Chloe, thank you for your informative article in regards to the Texas Abortion law. I agree with the points made, and hope for a change in Texas law.
