PiscesKansas Governor Signs Abortion Rights Bill
Fox News: Gov. Kathleen Sebelius signs a bill ensuring that women and girls seeking abortions can see ultrasound images before the procedure.
The legislation, signed Friday and taking effect July 1, also ensures that abortion patients can listen to the fetal heartbeat.
Sebelius signed the measure as she awaits U.S. Senate confirmation as federal Health and Human Services secretary. Anti-abortion groups in Washington have criticized her nomination because of her abortion rights stance.
The Kansas governor offered no explanation of why she signed the bill, though she's never targeted such provisions when she's vetoed past abortion measures.
The bill amends a state law requiring doctors to obtain a patient's informed consent before performing an abortion.

Every patient should have access to ALL available information on his/her condition, to include every part of his/her body before consenting to any medical procedure. If the patient had lung cancer, they would be able to see the x-rays, biopsy reports, etc. before concenting to the prescribed treatment, so why should seeing the baby the abortion will remove be any different?
it bothers me that people are upset by this. her purpose was so that the women before the procedure have the chance to be educated.. and know that in fact, there is a heartbeat, in fact, there are limbs. i think this bill is great.
