Many states have already passed laws requiring women to get an ultrasound before they get an abortion, in order for them to see the tiny embryo that they are wishing to evacuate. Virginia, on the other hand, is about to be the only state to require a transvaginal ultrasound, which does the exact same thing as a normal ultrasound on the belly, except it requires women to be penetrated by an electronic dildo, which is just what most women who are about to have an abortion want to go through. How the fuck does something like this even get passed? Does nobody ask why?

Abortion opponents have leapt to defend Virginia’s pending forced ultrasound laws, which would require many women seeking abortions to undergo a medically unnecessary transvaginal ultrasound, on the basis that this coercive form of penetration is no different than the (usually) consensual penetration that resulted in the pregnancy to begin with, or the more invasive procedure they’ve chosen to have.

And here’s an video of everyone on TV saying the word “transvaginal”:

Also, HERE is a piece I posted a few weeks back about one senator trying to attach a similarly unnecessary procedure for men.
