It depends on why you support abortion. If you support abortion as a legal option but do not necessarily agree with the process, then no. However, if you support abortion because you don't believe the fetus is a child, but just a splash of cells, etc., then yes.
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. Assuming you were responding to my post, are you saying that having the "right to abort" can be infringed for some reason other than a competing right depending on why you support abortion? That doesn't make much sense. If your reason for supporting abortion does not include an assumption that the woman has some right to have one, then the issue is irrelevant. It's not about whether non-rights can compete with the right to abort, but that you don't believe that the right to abort exists in the first place.
I was making that argument that if you do believe that having an abortion is a right and should be protected, then any infringement of that right should be justified base on some other competing right. For those people, withholding ultrasound results should be seen as a clear violation of that right. Obviously, if you don't believe in said right in the first place, then you can restrict abortion for any reason you want. But if that's the case, then a whole hell of a lot of the pro-choice argument disappears in a puff of smoke.
