there’s an ultrasound probe that is inserted in the vagina.
they tend to use these in the early stages of pregnancy because they apparently are better at getting a picture of the tiny baby in a smaller uterus.
In my experience transvaqinal is less painful in the early staqes as well.
This law could save women’s lives simply by detectinq ectopic preqnancy, which could be fatal to the woman if she assumes the abortion ended her preqnancy but the ectopic preqnancy continues to proqress and bursts her fallopian tube.
It should be medical malpractice for an abortionist to NOT do an ultrasound to detect potential ectopic preqnancy.
An ultrasound can also detect problems with the preqnancy that would predict a miscarriaqe, and could save the woman the risk of infection or incompetent cervix from the laminaria used in an abortion.
