Got Choice?

Planned Parenthood objects to a new Ohio bill requiring abortion providers show pregnant women ultrasounds of the fetus prior to an abortion.

According to Planned Parenthood, the bill is not needed because patients are already provided with ultrasounds when requested.

I'm sure they are. But let's face it, if you are hell bent on having an abortion, you probably don't want to see an ultrasound because you probably don't want to see the truth.

So I would suggest that "pro choice" is probably a misnomer. How can you effectively "choose" when you won't use all the information at your disposal. Maybe we should call the Planned Parenthood folks "pro-uninformed choice".
