Bill would require pre-abortion ultrasound

They could choose not to look, but women seeking an abortion would first have to undergo an ultrasound and review the results with their doctors, under a measure proposed last week in the General Assembly.

The measure by Sen. Jack Westwood, a Northern Kentucky legislator who opposes abortion, would require doctors to perform ultrasounds on women seeking abortions and allow women to see the images before terminating their pregnancies.

Physicians who don't comply could be fined up to $100,000 for the first offense and $250,000 for each subsequent offense.
