I think a lot of what you’re missing here is that the laws sponsored by the Republicans are not about ensuring anything medical, but require the doctor to describe the fetus to the woman, to point out ‘features’ on it— an attempt to make her connect with it and feel guilt. It’s not just that it be done, but that it be shown to the patient, and that there be this accompanying narrative.

The point is not whether or not it is standard of care to do them, the point is that it should be a medical decision between the woman and her doctor, and that’s all.
