"Heartbeat: My Involuntary Miscarriage and 'Voluntary Abortion' in Ohio"

6. New laws require doctors in some states, to describe fetus to woman before abortion

Although they can't quite pass state laws to outright outlaw abortion, many states are tying to do that incrementally, in small steps. Making abortion harder and harder for women.

In one state (Mississippi?), they are closing down clinics for technical reasons; and are currently down to one or two clinics for the whole state.

In more states - like Texas - there are now laws that require a physician to give a forced ultrasound. And read a description of the fetus, to the pregnant woman. These descriptions usually concentrate on noting the "heartbeat"; to invoke some sentiment, the "heart," and to imply that that fetus is a viable "person."
