Group Files Law Suit Against Texas’ Pre-Abortion Sonogram Bill | The Center for Reproductive Rights has filed a class action lawsuit against Texas’ mandatory pre-abortion sonogram bill, a “controversial legislation that passed this session requiring women seeking abortions to undergo a sonogram at least 24 hours before the procedure.” Under the law, doctors “must also show and describe the images to the woman and play sounds of the fetal heartbeat.” “We filed a challenge today because this bill is incredibly intrusive; it hijacks the doctor-patient relationship and is another part of the anti-choice agenda,” BeBe Anderson, the group’s senior counsel said. CRR will also attempt to “block the Texas bill with a preliminary injunction, preventing it from going into effect.”
