North Dakota's House Bill 1371 requires doctors to show an ultrasound to a pregnant

decision? This is nothing new.

Guttmacher's stats confirm; we also rank 50th in the nation for efforts to help women avoid unintended pregnancy. As a citizen of North Dakota, I feel deeply ashamed to be heralding from a place that, frankly, I'm not so surprised by.
