Thor I will agree that this probe is intrusive if it is only administered because of this law. We don't know this. An abortion is a medical procedure with many risks. I find it highly unlikely one would be preformed without somehow viewing the uterus before hand. This probe might be the only safe and cheap way to do this.
The other thing you might not have considered is these nurses and Doctors make their money through the business of preforming abortions. They probably have a high level of commitment to what they see as the benefits of their work. Those 2 factors don't make these professionals the best candidates to council a young women making such an important decision. The fact that lawmakers felt they needed to pass a law that compelled these professionals to provide certain information upon request suggests there have been problems.
Government guidelines that include manditory disclosers and optional ones is reasonable.
