Banerjee discusses the impact of religion on reproductive rights, specifically related to abortion. The article talks about efforts to increase ultrasounds before a woman has an abortion. Critics of abortion rights believe women are not getting all the scientific information they need to make an educated decision. It also focuses on other efforts, like counseling, to reduce abortions and encourage women to carry their pregnancies full term. This is an interesting perspective that is very prevalent in the abortion debate and the influence of religious groups is very extensive. Although the article may be three years old, it is important today because many state legislatures are voting on laws requiring abortion providers to offer ultrasounds before abortions.
