I have never run for cover and I have no fear of answering any questions. My God, there are numerous posts in here to address and I do have a life in between you know. Where are the questions I supposedly didn't answer? They aren't in this post.
I thought that the joke someone made in here was a funny analogy. Sorry you have no sense of humor.
Look at post 487 again, i added the questions you have repeatedly hid from.....you're in here plenty....

I will look at them again. I have never hid from them. Why should I? I am trying to address umpteen posts by umpteen people in here for God's sake between trying to cook dinner. Oh, I guess that means I am browbeaten by a man cooking my husband's dinner?
No it isn't. I was in the hospital about 6 weeks ago for lower abdomen pain, and in the course of looking for a diagnosis I had a very thorough TV ultrasound. I can assure you the size is nowhere NEAR the size of a tampon, it's way bigger than that.

It was a pretty decent sized device. I had a female technician and she inserted it herself. I really think she should have at least bought me dinner when it was over with.
Sorry, I just wanted to copy so that chicagonut will have more chances to see it So, no more talk about sizes
Apparently, they DO come in different sizes, as do females organs... so that affect might vary. I don't think it's wise to use a "size no bigger then a tampon" and "do different then annual pap-smear" (because it's optional) as an argument

I JUST HAD ONE. I HELD IT IN MY HAND. For goodness' sakes, will you take someone's first person word for it. Arguing over the actual device is just disingenuous in the extreme.
Please give me one good reason why the use of this device is being promoted over the use of abdominal ultrasound? I had a baby 5 years ago and they didn't find it necessary to use this torturous thing for to make sure a fetus that was wanted was ok, so why use it to try and talk someone out of terminating, if not to make the entire experience even more awful than it already is?
Here's a link to the actual device, I won't post the picture because I'm sure diagrams of women's reproductive systems will give some people the vapors.
Tortutous thing? Even the picture shows it as being smaller than a man's penis and not much different than the size of a tampon. It is being promoted over an abdominal ultrasound because the internal one is much more accurate and gives much more information for a doctor to work with.

But shouldn't that be up to the doctor? It always has been. If the doctor needed more information to do his job, he has all the freedom in the world to use this test.
Why do you think it is okay for the state to order this test. Do you think the state believes that the doctors are incompetent and need to be told what to do? Do you think the state believes that the doctors don't know about the transvaginal ultrasound option?
Why do YOU believe the state has the right to order a medical procedure?
I am done with all the insults in here "for good". None of you pro-choicers want to debate civily and that is all I am looking for. Knock yourselves out high fiving each other!!! As I said before find yourselves another whipping post. I am outa here.
