Leading pro-abortion groups are attacking pro-life Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who is facing a tough re-election battle in this purple state. The out-of-state and extreme pro-abortion group Emily’s List is making false claims about Sony’a Law, the pro-life bill Walker signed that allows women a chance to see their unborn baby in an ultrasound while considering an abortion.
The pro-abortion groups claim Walker is violating women’s privacy by forcing them to have a transvaginal utlrasound — a claim the state’s leading pro-life e group rejects.
ultrasound3d18Wisconsin Right to Life’s Executive Director, Heather Weininger, stated, “We only have to look at the text of Sonya’s Law to see that a woman can decide on the type of ultrasound she wishes to have. It is reprehensible that Emily’s List is making false claims about the law, and substantiating their claims with a biased headline no credible newspaper would ever use.”
Weininger said Sonya’s Law provides a mother with the opportunity to see her baby through ultrasound before she makes a decision about how to proceed with her pregnancy. After all options have been explained, it is up to the woman to decide the type of ultrasound she prefers.

The actual language in Sonya’s Law states:
“…perform an obstetric ultrasound on the pregnant woman, using whichever transducer the woman chooses after the options have been explained to her.”
In other states, based to some degree on language in proposed legislation, opponents of laws like Sonya’s Law have claimed that the bill requires a specific type of ultrasound. This is not true in Wisconsin’s law which gives a woman options.
“Extreme pro-abortion groups are angry that they were not able to defeat Sonya’s Law, and are now purposely making false claims to try to make up for their inability to prevent right-to-life laws from being passed in Wisconsin. Sonya’s Law is outstanding public policy which benefits a woman’s emotional and physical health. It is time for opponents of the law to stop spreading false information about its impact, and to recognize that Sonya’s Law is all about the health of both mothers and babies,” added Weininger.
They justify murdering helpless babies as a civil right, so telling bold faced lies isn’t beneath them.
Just what is a “transvaginal ultrasound”?
there’s an ultrasound probe that is inserted in the vagina.
they tend to use these in the early stages of pregnancy because they apparently are better at getting a picture of the tiny baby in a smaller uterus.
In my experience transvaqinal is less painful in the early staqes as well.
This law could save women’s lives simply by detectinq ectopic preqnancy, which could be fatal to the woman if she assumes the abortion ended her preqnancy but the ectopic preqnancy continues to proqress and bursts her fallopian tube.
It should be medical malpractice for an abortionist to NOT do an ultrasound to detect potential ectopic preqnancy.
An ultrasound can also detect problems with the preqnancy that would predict a miscarriaqe, and could save the woman the risk of infection or incompetent cervix from the laminaria used in an abortion.
ALL of satan’s children lie...
1. Transvaginal ultrasound is the only real option at early stages of pregnancy. Abdominal ultrasounds can and do miss many early stage fetus.
2. Since the group didn’t include it, is there wording stating that the patient must look at the monitor during the procedure? Just curious.

Transvaginal ultrasound
Share on facebook Share on twitter Bookmark & Share Printer-friendly version
Transvaginal ultrasound is a test used to look at a woman’s reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, and cervix.
Transvaginal means across or through the vagina.
How the Test is Performed
You will lie down on a table with your knees bent. Your feet may be held in stirrups.
You will be given a probe, called a transducer, to place into the vagina. The probe is covered with a condom and a gel.
The probe sends out sound waves, which reflect off body structures. A computer receives these waves and uses them to create a picture.
The ultrasound technician or doctor can see the picture on a TV monitor.
The health care provider will move the probe around the area to see the pelvic organs.
In some cases, a special transvaginal ultrasound method called saline infusion sonography (SIS) may be needed to more clearly view the uterus.
How to Prepare for the Test
You will be asked to undress, usually from the waist down. A transvaginal ultrasound is done with your bladder empty or partly filled.
How the Test Will Feel
The test is usually painless, although some women may have mild discomfort from the pressure of the probe. Only a small part of the probe is placed into the vagina.
Why the Test is Performed
Transvaginal ultrasound may be done for the following problems:
Abnormal findings on a physical exam, such as cysts, fibroid tumors, or other growths
Abnormal vaginal bleeding and menstrual problems
Certain types of infertility
Ectopic pregnancy
Pelvic pain
Transvaginal ultrasound is also used during pregnancy.
Normal Results
The pelvic structures or fetus is normal.
What Abnormal Results Mean
An abnormal result may be due to many conditions. Some problems that may be seen include:
Birth defects
Cancers of the uterus, ovaries, vagina, and other pelvic structures
Infection, including pelvic inflammatory disease
Growths in or around the uterus and ovaries (such as cysts or fibroids)
Twisting of the ovaries
Risks
There are no known harmful effects of transvaginal ultrasound on humans.
Unlike traditional x-rays, there is no radiation exposure with this test.
Alternative Names
Endovaginal ultrasound; Ultrasound - transvaginal

Left leaning Emily’s List lying about Scott Walker. Surprise, surprise!
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
The political ad SPEWING THESE LIES came on my TV during dinner last night. I threw a dish rag at the TV!
These people are CONTEMPTABLE, DISGUSTING human beings!
That said, I’m pretty sure this isn’t going to change any hearts or minds. Those that hate Walker, hate him no matter what. Those of us that know him best, are 100% on his side and all the LIES the left tries to pawn off as fact aren’t going to change our minds, either.
Kind of pointless, actually.
Governor Walker hates your Lady Parts! *SMIRK*
Why is it ALWAYS about sex, perversion and killing babies with these people?
(Rhetorical!)
