It's no end of ironic to see the left, who insist that abortion is a "medical" and "scientific" procedure that takes place for the benefit of women's "health" are fighting tooth and nail against modern practices which make it less risky, and allows women to be more fully informed about the procedure.
What ever happened to the "women's health" and "education is the answer!" mantra? "Women have a right to know!"....Is any of this ringing a bell?
Forcing a woman to have an ultrasound is not about her right to know. She can exercise her right to know anytime she chooses.
There is no legitimate medical reason for this mandate; there is no legitimate non-medical reason for this mandate. This is nothing more than the diehards in the anti-choice camp trying to fuck with people in a battle they've already lost.
You need an vaginal ultrasound in order to educate women about abortion? Don't you think there are more effective, non-invasive ways of doing it, like with a pamphlet?
Don't you think that women that are getting an abortion have already found out what it is all about? Geez, you don't give women much credit, must be a Republican.
Women don't need pamphlets, either, they will be filled with pro life junk. Women can make their own decisions and they don't need men controlling their lives!
So your making the point there are no women that are for this?
Right, because abortions are not invasive. I mean sticking a vaginal vacuum into a woman's cervix after going into her vagina to suck out her unborn baby is not invasive, but going only into her vagina is...
An internal ultrasound is not necessary, and there is no medical reason why she needs to have one.
Force men to have a rectal exam before they get a prescription for Viagra, see how they howl the roof down then.
And of course, there is the whole matter of choice.... And the GOP wonders why they have such a problem with women who think for themselves.

The only women for this are women who want to harass other women who are trying to exercise their constitutional right to an abortion.
if Republicans cared about the women in the own party, they would have let them have a hand in writing the latest unconstitutional bill put frwd by Repubs.

Not sure which "unconstitutional bill" you're talking about. The Wisconsin legislation was sponsored by Mary Lazich.
Lol..take a stand against medical advances!
Abortion is a constitutional right and therefore, women should not be afforded the best care that is available!
Nice try.

amniocentesis...they probably would of fainted..lol
but they wail over someone having a vaginal ultrasound before a abortion...
Wisconsin Republicans: Forcing Women To Undergo Transvaginal Ultrasounds Is Our 'Priority'
At the Wisconsin Right to Life Legislative Conference this week, the state’s top Republican lawmakers assured attendees that they will do everything in their power to enact a forced ultrasound bill, which would mandate an invasive transvaginal probe for some women seeking first-trimester abortions. “This bill is a priority,” Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R) said. “It is long overdue.”
Wisconsin fans of small government go big when it comes to the uterus
There's some discussion that Republicans will bring this up in the house in a week or two.
Assembly Assistant Minority Leader Sandy Pasch (D-Shorewood), a nurse, says these are not the issues that should top the legislative agenda. "Especially when Wisconsin remains 44th in the nation in job growth, 45th in wage growth and dead last in short-term job growth, it is stunning how Wisconsin Republicans are more interested in blocking access to health care services that women need than focusing on the real issues facing women and Wisconsin families."
Wisconsin Republicans ready slew of abortion bills
Jobs - no
Education - no
Deficit - no
Wars - maybe
Immigration - no
Sticking it to women - YES! YES! YES!
That's messed up.
I couldn't make this this up. It would never occur to me.
The backlash against the new Virginia legislation requiring ultrasounds before an abortion procedure which some have bizarrely compared to forcible rape may be even more overblown than initially thought. Apparently, ultrasounds are already part of the abortion procedures at Virginia Planned Parenthoods.
The Virginia League for Planned Parenthood didnt immediately return calls yesterday. But heres what it said on the recording for its abortion services information hotline:
Patients who have a surgical abortion generally come in for two appointments. At the first visit we do a health assessment, perform all the necessary lab work, and do an ultrasound. This visit generally takes about an hour. At the second visit, the procedure takes place. This visit takes about an hour as well. For out of town patients for whom it would be difficult to make two trips to our office, were able to schedule both the initial appointment and the procedure on the same day.
Medical abortions generally require three visits. At the first visit, we do a health assessment, perform all the necessary lab work, and do an ultrasound. This visit takes about an hour. At the second visit, the physician gives the first pill and directions for taking two more pills at home. The third visit is required during which you will have an exam and another ultrasound.
From a health perspective, these ultrasounds are critical. They detect the exact age of the fetus, which often dictates which type of abortion procedure the woman can receive. They can also spot potential complications that could impact the procedure, like ectopic pregnancies. In clinics that dont have access to ultrasound technology, sometimes pelvic exams can be used as a substitute. But those are arguably just as invasive as the transvaginal ultrasounds pro-choice activists are decrying.
In other words, the real reason pro-choicers oppose the law isnt because of the invasiveness or creepiness of ultrasounds. It cant be it. Virginia Planned Parenthood clinics already include them in its abortion procedures.
In the Media we only hear about conservatives/republicans who want to ban abortion even in cases of rape. They actually represent the views of 10% of Americans or less.
But there is a 20-25% of Americans who believe that abortion must be legal in all circumstances and any time (or until the sixth month at least). That's scary and extreme too, but no one talks.
