ABC News' Paul Fidalgo Reports: A long-shot Republican presidential candidate promised Monday to administer a judicial sonogram test if elected president while speaking to the conservative Family Research Council in Washington, D.C.

"If a judicial nominee can look at a sonogram, the picture of an unborn child, and not see, looking at that sonogram, not see a valuable human life, I'm not going to give him an appointment to the court," said Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif. "I am going to give him an appointment to an optometrist to get a set of eyeglasses so that he can see that."

Hunter offered his judicial litmus test while speaking to the Blogs4Life Conference on the 34th anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade.

Hunter, a 14-term lawmaker, first announced his presidential ambitions in October and formed a presidential exploratory committee on Jan. 12.  He will officially declare his candidacy in Spartanburg, South Carolina next Thursday.
