State Ordered Rape


By: Rich Polley


7 states mandate that an abortion provider perform an ultrasound procedure in which a probe is inserted into her vagina. Each woman seeking an abortion is required by the provider to offer the woman the opportunity to view the image.

Alabama state senator Linda Coleman said, "If you look up the term rape, that’s what it is: the penetration of the vagina without the women’s consent." Which is exactly what the state is doing.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett dished out a solution for women who were going to be forced by the government to undergo a completely unnecessary ultrasound against their wills, "You can't make anybody watch, okay? Because you just have to close your eyes."  This doesn’t stop the fact that it’s still considered rape. Even if you changed the term of rape, the lone star state of Texas requires that each abortion provider must display and describe the image of the ultra sound.
