The California Assembly has voted to restrict the use of ultrasound machines for personal use, approving a bill that would allow them to be sold only to licensed professionals.Hmmm, a Democrat who's concerned about the health of the fetus. Is that even allowed in the Dem caucus? After all, if you can cut them up and vacuum them out with the blessing of the Democratic party, why can't you bombard them with sound waves? Seems a little inconsistent to me.
Democratic Assemblyman Ted Lieu introduced the bill after "Mission: Impossible III" star Tom Cruise bought an ultrasound machine to see images of his unborn child. The actor's fiancee, Katie Holmes, gave birth to the couple's daughter, Suri, last month in Los Angeles.
Doctors and technologists typically receive years of training to perform ultrasound exams, which help obstetricians check a baby's health.
Cruise was criticized by doctors who said improperly using the devices can harm a fetus.
