Against Cruise copycats

This lawmaker is taking a stand against home ultrasounds:

Democratic Assemblyman Ted Lieu said he feared copycat fans might buy the machine for home use, which doctors say could harm a fetus.

“If someone sees Tom Cruise buy one, they think this is the thing to do,” said Lieu. His bill, scheduled for debate Thursday in the California Assembly, would ban manufacturers in the state from selling, leasing or distributing the imaging device to anyone but a licensed medical professional.
