Hungarian Heartbeat Law: Doctors Must Show Mother Child's Heart Beating Before Abortion Decision

[Breitbart] Hungary’s abortion law is being amended so that doctors must show expectant mothers the heartbeat of their unborn child before a termination decision is made, to ensure informed consent.

Hungary, which has already sought to make it easier for women to have children — and to reverse demographic decline without resorting to mass immigration — with a generous package of family support policies, has already seen abortion rates fall in recent years.

Now, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s government appears to be taking more direct action against the practice, which is legal effectively on demand up to 12 weeks in the Central European country — not by imposing further restrictions, but by requiring doctors to have expectant mothers hear their child’s heartbeat before deciding to terminate, so they can better consider the full implications.

The measure has been welcomed by the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children (SPUC), with a spokeswoman telling Breitbart London that it "acknowledges the humanity of the unborn, and it could save lives."

"If mothers have the opportunity to hear the beating heart of their baby, they may reject abortion," the spokeswoman added, noting that a "team funded by the British Heart Foundation at the University of Oxford has demonstrated that an unborn child’s heart can begin to beat as early as 16 days after conception."
