Judge lifts ban on Texas’ abortion sonogram law
AUSTIN — A federal judge lifted the ban on the state’s new sonogram law Monday but warned in unusually harsh language that he believes that the abortion statute eventually will be seen as trampling on the rights of doctors to speak freely to their patients.
The state is still drawing up forms and rules on the law, but many doctors and clinics have anticipated the ruling and already have begun complying with it.
Doctors must perform an ultrasound and present the fetal image to a patient prior to an abortion. While the woman might avert her eyes or refuse to view the sonogram, the doctor still must describe all limb and organ development. Unless she lives a far distance, the patient then must wait 24 hours before she can receive an abortion.
The law provides that doctors can lose their medical license and face criminal charges for failing to carry out provisions of the law.
U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks initially held that the law — the furthest-reaching to be upheld by a court — unconstitutionally compelled doctors to “parrot” statements ordered by the state, even if they conflicted with the physicians’ medical judgment.
