Good evening America. I am a loooong time lurker here at LGF and many times I have read about Republicans here and there demanding transvaginal ultrasound before abortions, as a way of scaring women from having the procedure done. I hope you can answer me this question. Isn’t TVUS standard procedure before abortions in the US? I’m a gynacologist myself and have personally performed hundreds of abortions. Where I come from we would never do the procedure before a TVUS establishing the age of the fetus.

No, it is not standard. And thank you for your service to women. It is appreciated.
