Psychological torture based on ideology averred

A Texas anti-abortion law included in its provisions from women seeking abortions that abortionists perform a required ultrasound and have the women listen to the fetus's heartbeat, should there be any.

US District Judge Sam Sparks struck the provision down (not the one requiring an ultrasound) by stating that it was based on ideological beliefs that the doctors or the clients might not share.

So they're not madmen anymore.
