If you have been raped, and have gone to the police to report the crime, and then you see a doctor and are vaginally examined again anyway.

At least, that was my experience (not me a friend). I admit it was years ago.

And if you want to terminate your pregnancy, a legal medical procedure in this country, you shouldn’t have to have medically unnecessary and invasive procedures that are designed to shame you and make that decision more difficult.

That’s what the ultrasound legislation is all about, and it’s not better legislation if it did exempt victims of rape and incest.

This ultrasound legislation is the new rage in the wingnut war on women, several other states have or are trying to pass such legislation (OK among them).
