In an AP article, David Crary described how some volunteer operated crisis pregnancy centers were offering abortion minded women ultrasounds so that they could see their unborn babies before making a decision whether or not to have an abortion.
From the article:
“Convinced that a look inside the womb will dissuade many pregnant women from abortion, anti-abortion activists hope to provide ultrasound equipment to hundreds of pregnancy centers that promote alternatives like adoption.”
Gloria Feldt, then president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America:
“They’re using medical technology as political propaganda.”
Feldt also, says, of the centers that show women ultrasounds:
“They don’t provide true medical care. What they do is malpractice, by not giving women unbiased information on all their options.”
Kate Michelman, then president of the national pro-choice group NARAL, now NARAL Pro-Choice America, commented:
“It never fails to amaze me how little respect they have for women’s capacity to understand what goes on in our bodies. I faced a crisis pregnancy after having three children, and I didn’t need anyone to show me a sonogram to inform me that my pregnancy would result in giving birth to a person.”
Michelman says that these centers:
“have one purpose in mind – to intimidate women out of choosing abortion, and using government money to do that. That is wrong.”

In contrast to pro-life pregnancy centers, abortion clinics, including Planned Parenthood clinics, which are funded by tax money, often lie and mislead women about the development of the unborn baby. They are nearly always turn the ultrasound screen away, and often refuse to let a woman see the picture, even if she asks to see it.
