When I was a younger woman, I fled my home state of South Carolina like a bat out of hell. But the older I get, the more I like it. Especially after reading this.
There’s a law in SC that requires child killing “providers” to give women the option of seeing an ultrasound of their unborn babies before the slaughter. (SC isn’t the only state with this requirement.)
SC lawmakers now want to make sure women have in hand a list of clinics that provide free ultrasounds (including the cool new four-dimensional ones?). They’ve “prefiled” a bill.
I’m sure it’s much more difficult to be casual about killing the baby once the woman sees the little life inside her. Technology has illuminated what once was covered in darkness. The “clump of cells” and “blob of tissue” are revealed to be recognizable human beings. I’m grateful for it. Women who don’t want their babies surely can endure nine months of gestation to bless a couple who desperately wants a child. Exercise that choice.
Update: Wow. Somebody posted this link on Stumble Upon. I didn’t know kids were living like that. Mad traffic. Thanks to whoever (whomever? whatever!). 
Rest easy this weekend, everybody.
