"The same people pushing for these mandatory sonogram bills have also been pushing for years for 'conscience clauses' to allow people to refuse to perform medical procedures or even dispense medication if it violates their religious beliefs, like allowing pharmacists to refuse to fill prescriptions for birth control. So what do you suppose they would say if a doctor refused to perform this government-mandated invasive sonogram as a matter of conscience?" -- Ed Brayton, 2012-02-17, regarding Virginia's "have to get a medically unnecessary sonogram before getting an abortion" bill.
