Advocates for Choice oppose Michigan law showing women pictures

Unborn baby at 7 weeks

When a law in Michigan was proposed allowing women to see pictures of unborn babies before having abortions, pro-choice groups opposed it and successfully defeated that part of the bill, passing only a watered down version. Said one pro-choicer who opposed requiring women to see the pictures:

“To show a picture of a fetus that is very small, making it look huge, is very harassing.”

This pro-choice activist believes that giving a woman information about her pregnancy and unborn child is “harassing” her. Most informed consent laws don’t even require a woman to look at this information, they merely require her to be offered the opportunity to. And yet pro-choice groups oppose them. Shouldn’t a woman have all the facts before she decides? Is it better for a woman to see a picture of an unborn baby after she has had an abortion and been been lied to or been told the baby was just tissue?
