Here is what is says:
The Texas legislature, in its infinite wisdom, believes that neither you nor I are intelligence enough to carry on a conversation about how you might make an informed decision about how best to handle your current pregnancy. To be sure that they and their ideologues are part of our doctor patient relationship, they have mandated that you be forced to see and hear the ultrasound of your pregnancy, as well as be given a detailed description of the pregnancy's development to this stage. By inserting themselves into our conversation, they have almost certainly violated our first amendment rights to free speech and intruded into the rime-honored relationship you and I share at this critical time in our lives. It is, however, the current state law in Texas.
Most patients seeking a pregnancy termination are already anguished enough with the struggle to find the right answer for their lives and situation, without having others, ignorant of the situation, coerce them under the false guise of "providing more useful information". It has always been my practice to fully inform my patients of everything they need and want to know. As long as I am your physician, I will continue to provide that information and honor the sacred responsibility you entrusted to me.
Now that my friends is a good doctor!
However Texas is clearly not a good state for women who want to exercise control over their own bodies.
