Sounds like one way to love unborn babies, especially those whose mommy is considering an abortion, is to let her mommy see her on an ultrasound. The below is from Jill Stanek's Blog where she quotes from Live Action's Sarah Terzo:
"In Planned Parenthood’s world, allowing a woman to see an image of her baby on the ultrasound screen is a “dangerous agenda.” Many women who have abortions do not know the truth about fetal development….
The language of abortion counselors is often crafted carefully to avoid any reference to the baby. Even the term “fetus” is not always used. A 2012 NPR radio program interviewed abortion workers at a facility in England. In the interviews, the clinic workers never mention the word “abortion.” Rather, abortions were referred to as “treatments” – e.g., “the treatment room,” “treatment counseling,” etc.
Ultrasounds cut through all this evasive rhetoric. They show the reality of the unborn baby. As for abortion providers’ statements that ultrasounds are “cruel” and “torture weapons,” anyone who has listened to women who regret their abortions has heard, over and over again, “I wish I’d had more information.” “If I’d known what abortion would really do to my baby, I wouldn’t have had one.”…
So why do abortion providers avoid showing ultrasound images to women? Perhaps this is because up to 78% of women who see an ultrasound of their babies choose not to have abortions.

So, how often are abortion-seeking women seeing the little babies before they can go through with the abortion? Guttmacher Institute has a great brief as of Feb. 1 2013. Ultrasound Requirements across the states. Basically,

- "12 states require verbal counseling or written materials to provide information on accessing ultrasound services.
- 21 states regulate the provision of ultrasound by abortion providers.
- 2 states mandate that an abortion provider perform an ultrasound on each woman seeking an abortion and requires the provider to show and describe the image.
- 6 states mandate that an abortion provider perform an ultrasound on each woman seeking an abortion, and require the provider the opportunity to view the image.
- 9 states require that a woman be provided with the opportunity to view an ultrasound image if her provider performs the procedure as part of the preparation for an abortion.
- 5 states require that a woman be provided with the opportunity to view an ultrasound image."
