Ultrasounds are one of the most powerful tools pregnancy resource centers can offer pregnant mothers to help them understand the humanity of their preborn children and make informed decisions about their options. On their tour, the Watsons met 10-year-old Julian, whose life was saved when his mother saw him on an ultrasound at the Severna Park Pregnancy Clinic while she was pregnant.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-pregnancy-centers\/\">READ: <em>Debunking Planned Parenthood&#8217;s false claims about pregnancy centers<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As Pregnancy Help News notes, Maryland places virtually no restrictions on the abortion industry, allowing <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/leroy-carhart-botches-third-abortion-of-2013-after-maryland-board-of-physicians-refused-discipline\/\">late-term abortionists<\/a> to profit from especially dangerous and barbaric abortions on viable preborn babies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jgw4X7Dw_3k\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Watson has condemned <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/nfls-ben-watson-planned-parenthood-founder-wanted-to-exterminate-blacks\/\">abortion<\/a> and the practices of America\u2019s largest abortion business, <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/nfls-ben-watson-planned-parenthood-founder-wanted-to-exterminate-blacks\/\">Planned Parenthood<\/a>.
