The Ultrasound Access Act would require abortionists to explain those ultrasound images in greater detail, including the development of nerve endings and the ability to feel pain.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the bill would require abortionists to give patients a &#8220;conflict of interest disclaimer,&#8221; stating upfront their gross income and how much money they stand to gain from the abortion. Violating the law would be punishable with a fine of as much as $1 million and\/or ten years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Bill author Rep. Kerry Rich (R) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.al.com\/news\/index.ssf\/2016\/02\/post_92.html\">says<\/a> the Ultrasound Access Act is vital to dispelling the notion &#8220;that this is just a gob of mass and
