#transvaginal
I was under mistaken impression that the injunction against the ultrasound law stopped the transvaginal part until 5th Circuit Court of Appeals said law had to go into effect in February (even that was wrong - the entire bill was enforceable in January with guidelines for bill given in February).
Nope. I contacted the Center for Reproductive Rights who informed me that ALL forced ultrasounds in Texas, including transvaginal ones, were enforceable under TX law starting on October 1, 2011.
We’ve had 184 days of them here. ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY FOUR DAYS.
When Virginia’s governor announced that TVU’s were too extreme for VA to even consider as part of legislation, we were already on day 144 of them IN PRACTICE here in Texas.
I wrote about Texas’ forced ultrasounds for Global Comment that explains this all in more detail.
