It says you have to do a U/S, not necessarily a vaginal U/S. The abortion doctors will follow the letter of the law if they have to, and not a step more. They wont be doing any vaginal U/S unless its explicitly required in the law. I hate this bill, but lets be clear about the ultrasound thing.

Lamb said that is needed to ensure that minors aren’t coerced into ending pregnancy." WTF? So a minor who was being coerced by her parents to abort wouldn't be able to produce a permission slip signed by her parents? And a minor who was being coerced by someone else wouldn't be able to produce a document signed by someone who claimed to be her parent? Seems to me that a minor who shows up at a clinic alone is pretty likely to be there of her own volition. “The bill also would require minors who seek abortions to provide written parental consent.

"See there- that very small dot" 'there?' " no, no, there" 'where?'.

Because we really want to go around inserting objects into the vaginas of rape victims against their will. THAT sounds like a good idea, right? The mind boggles.
