- Elementary To all women who had an abortion and are now against abortion because they regret it: hypocritical self- haters !
- I've never met anyone like this IRL

- It's a classic conservative stance and I have met one woman and one man IRL like this
- its a classic hypocritical catholic stance. She went to confession so she thinks that made it all not count and now she wants to keep this option away from other women
- It's a classic conservative stance and I have met one woman and one man IRL like this

- Elementary State of Virginia wants to require all women to have a trans-vaginal ultrasound before undergoing an abortion.
- just like texas. it's so fucked up. i can't even believe it.
- Texas does it? Wtf is this country coming to! Women, stand up for your reproductive and civil rights.
- ugh
- gross. how can someone mandate that a woman has to have something inserted in her vagina in orde to have a medical procedure? its a form of rape IMO
- To punish and humiliate her for having a legal procedure.
- this
- it's actually so that they can show a picture of the fetus so that the mother will feel guilty and not have the abortion
- I understand why they want to do it. And I ams saying that its a form of rape
- Op: ita
- no, it is to comply with the concept of "informed consent" before a medical procedure is done. for abortion, the informed consent is usually severely lacking. this closes the gap
- thats utter and complete bullshit
- you are sick
- People understand that they're terminating a pregnancy and that there is a fetus inside with a beating heart. Women who have abortions aren't stupid, they don't want to be...(more)
- OK then showing them the image helps them make a better decision because they have more information.
- Go away stupid troll
- ?
- They already have the information they need. The state should not treat grown women like naughy children.
- There are some for which having this information might cause them to change their mind and decide not to have the procedure done. Not knowing can lead to a lifetime of awful...(more)
- what information don't they already have?
- If you are too dumb to understand what an abortion is, you can opt for a transvaginal. Leave the rest of us alone.

- No need to inflict your personal religious fantasies upon the rest of us. In fact, it 's unconstitutional.
- No need to be rude.
- Having a child you're not ready for can do the same. Again, you're treating women like people who are incapable of making decisions if they choose something you would not.
- I think it's good to have all the information before you make a decision, not hurry a young girl along when there's a life or death decision to be made. It should be deliberate...(more)
- How could you possibly read into what is going on in each "young girl's
- mind when she exercises her legal right to abort? and why should you have a say in it?
- I think it's ok to have standards as to what information is presented to a patient before a decision is made. A descriptoin of hte procedure, an explanation of the risks, a few...(more)
