1. Isn't the trans or Intra-Vaginal sonogram, a form of Rape?

We've been trying to promote this view in Texas; though not much success to date. Though in the first few months, this "wand" has to be inserted into the vagina, to get a good sonogram.

Though? I think with proper framing, this might stand. Especially with the provisions of some states, some say, that women can be strapped down, and have this performed on them.

In Texas, Doctors also objected. Claiming that the state was now intervening in medical matters, and forcing political speech on them. For that matter? Being forced to note a beating heart, but not the lack of a developed brain, is prejudicial.

For several years, the Texas legislature has had a Republican supermajority; that has made such abuses/rapes possible.
