Lawmaker Wants To Ban Private Ultrasounds - Because Of Tom Cruise
:rofl:

<snip>

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A California lawmaker said he fears Tom Cruise as father figure could be setting a dangerous precedent.

Democratic Assemblyman Ted Lieu is proposing a state ban on the sale of ultrasound machines to anyone but licensed medical professionals.

Lieu said there's no medical reason for an untrained person to use an ultrasound machine, and he worries because doctors say putting the technology in the wrong hands could harm a fetus.

Cruise said he bought an ultrasound machine so he could see images of his then-unborn child with Katie Holmes.

"If someone sees Tom Cruise buy one, they think this is the thing to do," Lieu said.

I understand that Tom Cruise is batshit crazy but most expectant parents aren't him.
