Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up. I read through it and couldn't find anything specific.sabs wrote:http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/82 ... navpanes=0
is the texas bill.
It does not specifically require a trans vaginal ultrasound. Except that the requirements for what the ultra sound must show, pretty much require a trans vaginal ultrasound in any first and early second trimester abortion.
key part:
the physician who is to perform the abortion provides, in a manner understandable to a layperson, a verbal explanation of the results of the sonogram images, including a medical description of the dimensions of the embryo or fetus, the presence of cardiac activity, and the presence of external members and internal organs;
Both the highlighted parts are pretty much impossible with a regular ultrasound.
I think other people are using that the actual phrase "transvaginal ultrasound" doesn't appear in the law's text to claim that pro-choice proponents are just lying. At least, that's the gist I got while trying to find the law's text in the first place.
