A sonogram before an abortion?
It is a controversial proposal: requiring women who are considering an abortion get a sonogram and be forced to watch it. Republican primary voters will get to answer that question on the GOP ballot. Democrats can vote, if they cross over. The vote is non-binding but will send a powerful message to lawmakers.
Already, more than a dozen state require a sonogram before an abortion. Oklahoma is embroiled in legal challenges because the law there requires a woman watch the images. In Texas, pro-life advocates say they won't go that far because it gets questionable with the courts. They do believe some measure will pass the legislature next year. But pro-choice supporters say they will fight the plan.
