Snip: Planned Parenthood of the Heartland filed the lawsuit Monday to keep Legislative Bill 594 from taking effect as scheduled July 15.

The law, passed this spring, requires doctors to perform extensive screenings of women seeking abortions in Nebraska.

Planned Parenthood claims the law is unconstitutional because it imposes requirements on doctors that are impossible to meet.

“It is a very onerous act that in fact obstructs access to abortion at all states of pregnancy,” said Jill June, the president and CEO of the Des Moines-based organization.

1. Extensive screenings meaning...?

"The law, passed this spring, requires doctors to perform extensive screenings of women seeking abortions in Nebraska."
What would these "screenings" entail? Sounds fishy.

Nebraska lawmakers passed a controversial measure that requires clinics performing abortions to display ultrasound images so a woman can see it.

I won't be surprised when some state tries to make it mandatory for a woman to have to watch the procedure in detail (e.g. ultrasound or other probe) as it's being done to her, after having to listen to detailed descriptions of what her fetus could have been/looked like/done. I give that five years.
