Speaking of things that aren’t medically necessary

So in Texas it will be required that a woman seeking an abortion listen to the heartbeat of her unborn baby and hear information about fetal development, a description of the ultrasound. The usual suspects were against this:

The challengers, represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights, also argued disclosure of the sonogram and fetal heartbeat was not “medically necessary” and therefore beyond the state’s power to regulate the practice of medicine.

I can think of other things that are medically unnecessary…

Also, good to see that the judge was a woman:

The required disclosures of a sonogram, the fetal heartbeat, and their medical descriptions are the epitome of truthful, non-misleading information,” Chief Judge Edith Jones wrote for the threejudge panel.

Nice.
