Ultrasounds are Just Like ... Rape?
cmr ^ | May 5, 2010 | matthew archbold

Pro-aborts have decided on their main talking points against recent states' requirements for ultrasounds to be shown to women before abortions. And it's a doozy.
Pro-aborts are arguing that ultrasounds are invasive.

One Democrat running for a state seat even went so far as to call the state required ultrasound “rape by instrumentation.”

The media has picked up on this attack as they've clearly been ordered to. I've seen the term "invasive" used to describe the ultrasounds dozens of times in the past few days.

Ocala.com:Rep. Betty Reed, a Democrat from Hillsborough County, said the ultrasound exam is an invasive procedure that should not be imposed on women.

AFP writes in a news headline:

Oklahoma lawmakers overrode their governor's veto Tuesday to enact tough abortion laws that force women to undergo invasive ultrasounds and allow doctors to withhold test results showing fetal defects.

Do these people not realize how abortions are done? Suction tubes, forceps, curettes (sharp knives.) And it's the ultrasound that's invasive?

You know, I'm starting to think that pro-aborts will pretty much say or do anything to keep women in the dark.

Women aren’t in the dark. We know an invasive procedure from an ultra sound.

They’re just playing on the victim mentality. Or trying to. I can’t see it working.

How is it that the government can require a person to undergo a medical procedure?

Better they should abort now.
 
They'll just end up killing the kid later.

They KNOW that the reason abortions are down is because of ultrasound. Now women can SEE that it is a baby and not some lump of tissue.

They just are afraid of the truth - the “fetus” is actually a baby!

They can’t. They can only require you to buy insurance to cover the medical procedure.

The left’s lack of logic never ceases to astound me.

If the wand used for an ultrasound is invasive, just wait till they start digging around in there to rip a living human being out of there. Now I can understand calling that a rape, but not a wand.

As everyone knows by now, you cannot be a Leftist without the capacity, amounting to world-class genius, for turning logic on its head.

Ultrasounds save lives.

Such a miracle to see a live baby in an ultrasound picture.

I also have a friend who is a radiology tech. He put himself through the MRI and discovered an artery that was nearly clogged.

He had surgery and is alive today.

Thank God for science and the new equipment that is available.
