I don't know, I think the rape kit that would/should have been taken would have been more intrusive than a vaginal ultrasound. It's not unusual for this form of ultrasound to be used before an abortion, Oregon's Planned Parenthood will do the same to determine whether a surgical abortion is necessary or whether RU-486 may be more appropriate.
This is probably moot, though. Is the abortion pill even legal in Oklahoma?
Jesus fucking christ Oklahoma, that sounds like state-sponsored rape by foreign object.
I fully realize that there are circumstances where this ultrasound procedure is warranted and a woman might choose to undergo it. In an instance where it is not medically necessary, forcing a woman to undergo it, in order to get a legal medical procedure, is creeping pretty close to violating the Geneva Conventions.

I know the definition of sarcasm. Unfortunately, knowing the definition doesn't help me identify it when it's right in front of me. Not everyone's awesome at doing that, ya know?
