Natalie: Our bill does not touch upon how awareness will be generated among the target population. The only resource that this bill directly offers is grant money from the government to purchase ultrasound equipment. We felt that it could be part of our job as advocates of this bill to educate the population and legislators and other officials to gain their support in hopes to have access to further resources.
SMC: There are many free clinics that do not have the funding or resources to have ultrasounds offered. Also some places can not afford or contract licensed professionals to run these machines and offer educated advice regarding care for the mother and fetus based off of ultrasound results. This bill would offer grant money to non-profit clinics as an incentive to purchase ultrasound equipment and fund the malpractice insurance needed by the licensed medical professionals who run the machines.
