    But that’s not all that’s in this bill. The bill will also force pregnant women to undergo transvaginal ultrasounds if they want an abortion. In other words, Arizona Republicans just legalized state sanctioned rape. The law also allows abortions in cases of medical emergency but seems to have failed to include an exemption for women who are raped.

    The medical definition of gestational age is the beginning of the mother's last period, or 14 days prior to fertilization. So the definition in the law is consistent with obstetric practice. Stop believing the spin of the liberal alarmist websites.

    And a medical test is now state-sanctioned rape just because the test is required before you get to kill your baby? So the same women who have no problem having a fetus ripped out with tongs would somehow feel invaded by getting an ultrasound? Curious.
