Idaho posts free ultrasound list for women seeking abortions

Lawmakers in the Republican-dominated Statehouse pushed for the list earlier this year during the legislative session, where anti-abortion legislation is common and almost always receives the governor's signature.

The state's GOP supermajority refused requests from minority Democratic members to ensure the information given by the ultrasound providers was medically accurate.

State officials also have posted a warning that the information the centers provide should not be used as medical advice and is not endorsed by the state.

Currently, 13 other states require some sort of verbal counseling or written materials that include information on accessing an ultrasound, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research center that supports abortion rights.

According to Path Pregnancy Clinic's website, the clinic was seeking women six to 20 weeks pregnant to give their volunteer registered nurses hands-on experience.
