It's been a depressing year so far for proponents of women's reproductive freedom. In state after state, legislatures have been considering and even approving bills that force women seeking abortions to undergo an ultrasound and "see their baby" before the procedure can be performed. Since early pregnancies usually require an invasive ultrasound involving the use of a wand being inserted into the vagina, this amounts to legally-mandated medical rape. A provision like this recently became law in Oklahoma.
