Wyoming Abortion Bill

I found on Planned Parenthood's "in the news" page an article from Wyoming about how much a doctor has to report to the state. It's a story from Wester Wyoming's #1 Local News Source, so you know it's good.

They want doctors to be required to report to the state the patient's age and country of residence, which in a state like Wyoming with small towns with even smaller populations is an issue, because if there is an El Salvadorian woman living in a town on the plain people are going to know who she is, and therefore would compromise the patient's privacy.

This bill didn't even get out of committee in Wyoming, a historically conservative state, which is a good sign for people changing their views and ideas of abortion.

The committee, as it says in the article, also defeated a proposal to require doctors to offer to show the patient an ultrasound image of their fetus.

This would be a way to guilt trip women into having a child they do not want. It would be harder to abort a baby if a woman were to see the form inside their body which is distinctly human in nature.
