I’m having a hard time with anyone comparing this to rape. I’ve been raped, and I’ve had a transvaginal ultrasound before an abortion, and I can tell you that the two experiences were completely different.

Forced ultrasounds are ridiculous, unnecessary, and invasive, but I can’t equate them to rape. As for letting a doctor put something inside me against my will, I have to get a medically unnecessary pelvic exam and pap smear every year in order to get birth control pills, but no one is calling that rape.

Am I wrong here? Seriously, I’m not trying to stir up shit, I just want to know if you see any flaws in my point of view.
