I think a lot of people just don't realize that the Texas sonogram requirement included one for the transvaginal probe....I'm not kidding. Especially for the earliest abortions. You would think that the earliest stages would be best but folks-any abortion for any reason-and even birth control would be outlawed. Women who are victims of rape and incest must attest to such in writing. Thus, they have a list. Almost like the Scarlet Letter-(free on Kindle) and you thought we were past that. Eighteen other states have laws regarding the requirement on sonograms.
Judge Sparks noted that he was especially disturbed by the provision that women could avoid the fetal heartbeat requirement only if they signed a statement saying they were victims of rape or incest. Overall, as he stated in his ruling, he found it "difficult to avoid the troubling conclusion that the Texas Legislature either wants to permanently brand women who choose to get abortions, or views these certifications as potential evidence to be used against physicians and women."
If I were in Texas or one of the other states, I'd require Dr. certification that the prospective male partner has zero sperm count-or become a a lesbian. Perhaps The Handmaid's Tale is not far off at all.
