    ChicagoTruth commented on the blog post Wave of Ultrasound Bills About Humiliating Abortion Seekers

    I’ve had a “transvaginal ultrasound” to measure a fibroid in my uterus. It was embarrassing and IT HURT. That particular ultrasound CAUSED ME PAIN and it was not due to any fibroid. During insertion I felt as though the instrument stretched my vagina and, once inside, the technician had to move it around A LOT. I felt as though I had a fist up against my cervix, inside my abdomen.

    I cannot imagine men forcing women to undergo a procedure that causes pain and embarrassment FOR NO REASON. I was humiliated and I’ve had three babies! Oh and, for the record, I can’t imagine anyone forcing a woman to go through the agony and emotional trauma of an unwanted pregnancy and childbirth against her will. Outlawing abortion is tantamount to torture and hatred toward women. Religious zealots are turning America into a barbaric, horrific country.
