As rePro-Truth has previously covered, there's no data supporting the anti-abortion premise that ultrasounds change pregnant folks' minds about abortion; but there's lots of data showing the opposite.

As I searched online for empirical data that day in January of 2019, I came across a number of credible studies indicating the exact opposite of the “Pro-life” Movement's claims. To my sincere astonishment and deep disappointment, the magical ultrasound machine wasn't so magical after all. For example… A 2014 study of over 15,000 abortion patients, published in the professional journal Obstetrics and Gynecology, found that, “nearly all pregnancies (98.8%) were terminated: 98.4% of pregnancies among women who viewed their ultrasound images and 99.0% of pregnancies among the patients who did not.” A 2017 study examining the impact of Wisconsin's ultrasound law, published in the academic journal PLoS One, found that the law led to only a “small increase in continuing pregnancy rates.” Some women in the study reported that viewing their ultrasounds “increased [their] certainty about choosing abortion.” Overall, the study found that 8.7% of abortion patients continued their pregnancies pre-law and 11.2% post-law— a difference of just 2.5%. In a 2009 University of British Columbia study, published in the European Journal of Contraception & Reproductive Health Care, “researchers gave questionnaires to 350 women who came to two abortion clinics, asking if they wanted to view an ultrasound. Nearly 73 percent got the ultrasound and 86 percent of them described it as a positive experience. But none changed their minds about having an abortion.”2
