asterrocA South Carolina abortion bill would force women (including victims of rape and incest) to view an ultrasound of their fetus before allowing the abortion to be performed.

czarina69 expresses her outrage here, but what I really want to know is what about blind women? There should be an exemption for them, otherwise as the bill appears worded right now they would be unable to have abortions at all, as they are unable to view anything, let alone ultrasounds.

The state's informed-consent law, passed in 1994, requires abortion doctors to tell women at least an hour before the operation the likely age of their fetus and give them information about fetal development and alternatives to abortion."
