Do they have different definition of the word invasive? <br /><a href="http://www.abortionclinicDetroit.com/" rel="nofollow">AbortionClinicDetroit.com</a> jelly andrewsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848541039913019341.post-32896426001955523522012-09-06T09:21:10.264-06:002012-09-06T09:21:10.264-06:00In response, it may very well be that some women d...In response, it may very well be that some women do not want to chance seeing the fetus on screen, but it is very simple for the ultrasound tech to avoid. With my first child, I was experiencing bleeding shortly after I found out I was pregnant and I had an internal ultrasound because they could not see anything with the external one. The screen was turned away from me as the tech checked around. Once she saw that the fetus looked fine, she turned it to show me everything. I think that every time I've had an ultrasound, the screen was turned away until the tech could see all was well. But definitely that first time.<br /><br />I am aware however that there are sometimes other issues - such as I have heard that some women may receive the abortion for next-to-free, but have to pay out of pocket for the ultrasound (if they dont have insurance or it's not covered). If they are poorer and want a termination but cannot afford the required ultrasound, I can see why that could be a big problem. But that is not what Fluke was talking about in the speech last night. She was talking about invasive medical procedures, not the cost, at that particular moment.<br /><br />My friend was in a great deal of pain from cramping when she had one at 11-12 weeks. She had to stay at the hospital and walk the halls while waiting for the fetus and everything else to pass through. She could hardly stand at all during some cramping. She also had nurses checking her cervix and her sanitary pad regularly to see what had come out so far. I would rather have a vaginal ultrasound than go through that every day!!!<br /><br />I also must state here that I recall a news story years back about a young girl who went to a clinic in her area somewhere in the US and said that she was newly pregnant and wanted an abortion. She told them her last cycle was only about a month earlier, and they gave her the concoction of pills similar to morning after. Her mother found her laying in her room, nearly dead from massive hemorraging, because she was actually almost 4 months pregnant. I will have to look around and see if that story or others can still be found online but the girl's mother was FURIOUS that no one bothered to check - just a urine test to confirm pregnancy, but not even a blood test to measure the amount of pregnancy hormone (which can also give an indication of how far along). Isn't a blood test invasive too? Having a needle stuck in your arm? Geez.

There were 2 comments and I swore I clicked 'publish', but they are not showing up so I will type them out here:<br /><br />Anonymous wrote: "I am pro-choice, but I imagine these women don't want to see the ultrasound of the fetus they are aborting. Not sure if they have to look at it, or is it just the doctor. But for sure for safety reasons I would want the doctor to do an ultrasound"<br /><br />Another Anonymous commented: " These are the rantings of women who don't want to deal in any way with what they're about to do. Dismiss the reality of the age of the fetus because they would prefer to believe that it's just a mass of cells.. not a real human fetus"KGouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537080163900313558noreply@blogger.com
