Abortion supporters say pro-lifers misuse fetal images, but pro-lifers say they help women make a more informed decision.
At 39 and single, Heather Springman was crushed when she found out she was pregnant. Her first thought was abortion.
But she didn’t get one.
What stopped her?

A sonogram produced by an ultrasound machine showed twin boys. One of them appeared to be standing on his head.
“Seeing them on the screen, it just kind of changed everything,” Springman told the Register in a telephone interview. “You’re just watching them bounce back and forth, kicking each other.”
The twins turned 4 a couple of weeks ago.

She credits ultrasound with helping her make the right decision.
