Project Ultrasound

1 of the very effective tools in saving the lives of the unborn has been the ultrasound. That is why even the mention of requiring women have one before an abortion gives abortion providers like Planned Parenthood an apoplectic fit. In fact, as I have said before, PP even has gone so far as to call ultrasounds wrong, biased & misleading information. They say that because they know that when a woman sees the ultrasound 80-90% of women chose to let the child live rather than have an abortion. & that is why Project Ultrasound was launched.

As they explain on their website: "Project Ultrasound is a non-profit organization which has been formed for the purpose of raising awareness about the effectiveness of ultrasound machines in deterring abortions, and raising funds to provide ultrasound machines to crisis pregnancy centers nationwide.

We believe that life begins at the moment of conception, and that all life is a precious gift from God. It is with this understanding that we have made it our mission to help provide the instrument through which this truth about the unborn can be seen by mothers contemplating abortion. Such a crucial decision should not be based merely upon what a mother hears, but all mothers should be given the right to see the truth about their unborn child with their own eyes on an ultrasound.

Various reports indicate that 70-90% of "abortion minded" mothers who see an ultrasound change their mind and choose life. At present only 40% of crisis pregnancy centers nationwide are equipped with these machines because of their extremely high cost and the extremely limited budget of these non-profit centers. Help us bring ultrasound machines into those centers that don't have them, and help us allow mothers to see life, so they can choose life."

Right now, only about 40% of crisis pregnancy centers have an ultrasound. Some may not want them, but for many of them it is a huge expense they can't afford. & that is where they step in. If the center meets certain criteria, then Project Ultrasound will assist crisis pregnancy centers in purchasing ultrasound machines and ultrasound training.

They also work with other fundraising campaigns, such as Focus on the Family's 'Option Ultrasound' which I have mentioned before (An "Ultra"Sound Idea). Project Ultrasound is an excellent manager of its funds, between 97-99% of the donations they receive are used to purchase ultrasound machines and training.

So, Why do 70-90% of women who see an ultrasound choose life?

Because all notions of the unborn child being only a group of cells quickly vanish as the heartbeat is detected, and movement is seen on that ultrasound screen.

Because the visual connection with the baby causes that innate motherly instinct of love and protection to kick in and brings her to a place of considering her son or daughter her child, not just a "fetus".

Because all seemingly insurmountable challenges, expectations of missed opportunities and dreams, and fear of what others think, although not completely forgotten, take a back seat to a new hope that this can work, that somehow she will make it work, for her child's sake, for her family's sake.

Because although it may be legal, and although people may think it's the right choice for her, abortion is no longer an option, because what she has seen trumps all the things she heard.

You can read stories of women who saw an ultrasound and chose life on their website.
