The poll questions are worded to give a propaganda result.

Yes. Women should know exactly what they are getting into.

No way. This is infringing upon a woman's right to choose.

Both of those questions are about the motivations for and against the reason for a forced sonogram. Neither of them is about whether it is right to force someone to have a sonogram or not. They purposely avoid any thought of whether the gov has the authority to force someone to have the procedure and whether that would be a violation of their civil rights. That is a separate issue from the right or wrong of abortion.

I was born incapable of getting pregnant so that could never be a situation I would personally face. But I'm a smoker, for an example, and I'd spit in the face of the totalitarian MFer who told me I had to get a chest X-ray or watch a movie about lung cancer, by law, to get permission to buy tobacco.

For a broader example; does the gov have the authority to require you to submit to a body fat measurement before you can legally buy high-fat or high-sugar foods? In fact that is something they have given themselves authority to do with 0bamaCare. The question is is that Constitutional?

I don’t you understand what the traditional Police power of the state means. The abortion “right” is one thing, but even Roe. V. Wade allows the state some level of intervention. After all, it does regulate the practice of medicine, and it is telling a doctor, this is what is reguired of you. If she doesn’t want to undergo the procedure, then she is free not to come or just to leave.
