Texas Bill Would Require All Pregnant Moms Seeking Abortion To Peek At The Baby First

   Texas Governor Rick Perry signed a controversial bill yesterday that requires a woman to have a sonogram 24-hours before before having an abortion.  Perry says House Bill 15 will ensure that every Texas woman seeking an abortion has all the facts about the life she is carrying and understands the impact of the life-changing decision.  It requires women to see their baby on a screen and listen to its heartbeat-- a day before the abortion will be done.
