The insanity of banning malpractice insurance should be a hint that the woman’s rights are not the primary issue. Surely you are aware that there are many, many laws that have a lot of window dressing to hide the true intent.

Absolutely. And that is certainly cause for concern and skepticism regarding this law. But, that also does not ensure that every component of the law is inappropriate.

And I’m not trying to change any minds here. I’ve just been a little surprised by the villainy attributed to the concept of requiring an ultrasound. The fact that the protests typically devolve around the issues of the wand-procedure and rape/incest exclusions leads me to believe that there isn’t much of an argument against the general concept itself.
