In February, The Texas Abortion Sonogram Law went into effect. This law requires a woman seeking an abortion to first get an ultrasound, and then be shown the ultrasound image and listen to her doctor describe the image in detail. Please join us to learn about the legal and medical effects of this highly controversial law.
