U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas introduced legislation Thursday requiring doctors to perform ultrasounds and share the results with women before performing an abortion.

Brownback, a Republican presidential hopeful, argues that the Ultrasound Informed Consent Act would reduce the number of abortions. Women would not be required to view ultrasound images.

“We can reduce the number of abortions and help people reflect on the humanity of the unborn child by providing more information to women,” Brownback said.

The Brownback campaign said legislatures in South

Carolina and Texas are considering similar bills.
