Supreme Court says it's fine to force Kentucky abortion-seekers to listen to fetal heartbeat sounds
Challengers, which included a Kentucky abortion clinic, argued that the law violates doctors’ First Amendment rights in order to require abortion-seekers to interact with ultrasounds regardless of their desire to do so.
The 6th Circuit court seemed to agree in its ruling, which stated, “As a First Amendment matter, there is nothing suspect with a State’s requiring a doctor, before performing an abortion, to make truthful, non-misleading factual disclosures, relevant to informed consent, even if those disclosures relate to unborn life and have the effect of persuading the patient not to have an abortion.
