Title: Sonography Training Propelling the Pro-Life Movement
Topic: Ultrasounds Help Save Babies
Discussed by Robyn Chambers
with Focus on the Family www.Family.org
When an abortion-minded woman sees a fuzzy ultrasound screen with no
distinct features, it’s understandable how she can believe the lie that her
child is no more than a “clump of cells.” But when a well-trained ultrasound technician can show her the truth of the life in her womb – her baby’s beating heart and the shape of the child’s head and limbs – it can make all the difference in her decision.
Robyn Chambers, Executive Director of Advocacy for Children at Focus on the Family, says this: “Training these operators should be a high priority for the pro-life movement.”

Questions/Issues Discussed:
Is a sonagram the image produced by an ultrasound?
Can the image produced by the ultrasound be a video and/or a picture?
Do mothers often choose life for their babies after they see a clear picture on an ultrasound screen? Robyn admits that she still tears up every time she sees a baby on an ultrasound and hears a baby’s heartbeat. For the mother, she says it is often “life-saving and life-changing”.
If the ultrasound depicts a murky, out-of-focus picture with no distinct features, and the sound is turned off, could the sonographer reinforce the myth that the baby is no more than a “clump of cells”? Do mothers then often choose abortion instead of life?
What can well-trained sonographers and well-trained ultrasound technicians show the mother?
Should training the sonographer become a high priority for the pro-life movement?
How many ultrasound machines has Operation Ultrasound help purchase over the years?

Title: Ultrasounds Saves Lives. Period.
Topic: Ultrasounds Help Save Babies
Discussed by Dr. David Stevens
with Christian Medical and Dental Association www.CMDA.org
Disclaimer: Use caution when listening to this segment around young children. Issues discussed might be upsetting or hard for little ones to understand.
The Christian Medical and Dental Association is the nation's largest faith-based medical association. They recently joined a brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to review a decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The brief defends Indiana's statutory requirement that women receive the benefit of ultrasound information when considering an abortion procedure.
Dr. David Stevens is the CEO of The Christian Medical and Dental Association.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Is an ultrasound image essential medical information that should be reviewed with the expecting mother?
Why is an ultrasound required in order to do an abortion?
Do abortionists refuse to refer to the pre-born in the womb as a “baby”?
FACT: 80-90% of women seeking an abortion will NOT follow through once they have seen their baby on an ultrasound screen.
If a woman has a cancerous growth within her body, would a surgeon use an image of the growth and detailed explanation to the patient on how it will be removed?
Should physicians be required to truthfully describe the abortion procedure to each expectant mother before it is performed?
Why is the CMA working on this issue?

Title: Option Ultrasound Program
Topic: Ultrasounds Help Save Babies
Discussed by Bri Stensrud
with Focus on the Family www.Family.org
Abortion rates are higher around the globe, but lower in the United
States.
New guest Bri Stensrud is the Director of Church and Community Outreach with
Focus on the Family. In her opinion, abortion is decreasing in the United
and Canada because we have such great technological resources to help expectant
mothers, specifically ultrasound machines. That is why Focus on the Family
began the “Option
Ultrasound Program”.
“The ultrasound machine is a game changer,” Bri states. This leads to
another fantastic fact: Millennials are probably the most pro-life generation we
have seen in a long, long time. “They grew up with ultrasound pictures on
refrigerators,” she says.
It all starts at home. Listen in as Bri explains why sometimes you must focus on
one issue at a time in order to stop the entire affair. “We cannot have a
divisive nature in the pro-life movement any longer,” Bri says
passionately. “Let’s do it all together.”

Title: Option Ultrasound Program
Topic: Ultrasounds Help Save Babies
Discussed by Robyn Chambers
with Focus on the Family www.Family.org
Part 1 of 2
Focus on the Family’s pro-life division has several campaigns occurring
during the month of January, Sanctity of Life Month. We talked about one on
Friday, January 9, the “I See Two” campaign. You can click on the archives to
listen to the interview with their program director, Betsy Powell.
Today, it is an honor to have Robyn Chambers join us to discuss their “Option
Ultrasound” program. This program has been in effect for a decade and has helped
save over 300,000 babies across the nation.
Robyn encourages everyone to “Be A Voice” in their community and their church.
You can “Be A Voice” at work. If you have teens or college-age students, they
can “Be A Voice” on campus.
Yes, talking about abortion is sometimes difficult and uncomfortable, but
talking about life is better! One of the best tools in encouraging a woman to
choose life is seeing her baby on an ultrasound. And that is what the “Option
Ultrasound” program is all about: giving crisis pregnancy centers the training
and low-cost equipment to offer free ultrasounds to women who are at a
cross-roads. Listen in as Robyn explains more about the importance of
ultrasounds and why abortionist hate them.
NOTE: Because of generous donors, the “Option Ultrasound” program with Focus on
the Family has provided 658 grants across the United States for low-cost
ultrasound machines and training! Praise the Lord!

Discussed by Robyn Chambers
with Focus on the Family www.Family.org
In this second segment with Robyn Chambers, she shares how the “Option
Ultrasound” program has changed women’s lives. One woman from Tennessee said,
“Seeing my baby on the ultrasound made me look at my pregnancy in a different
way. I mostly remember seeing his teeny, tiny heart beating. It was so fast. It
was real. It was in me and this was my child.”
She also shares about a young woman in Colorado who had already decided to have
an abortion. However, the father of the baby convinced her to talk to someone
about the decision before following through. Listen in as Robyn shares this
amazing, life-changing story!

If you’ve had an abortion, we encourage you to find a crisis pregnancy center in
your area. Most offer free post-abortion healing counseling. Don’t suffer alone
in silence. Log on to www.BeAVoice.net for more information.
