Those are only used in very early abortions. The later ones that are at issue currently use the abdominal type.
And ultrasounds, yes, transvaginal ultrasounds in the case of early abortions, are ROUTINE with abortions today. Don't take my word for it - read this from a pro-abortion writer:

....
The use of trans-vaginal ultrasounds is routine among abortion providers. When I started this work three decades ago, pregnant women often had to wait until they were seven or eight weeks pregnant before providers felt comfortable performing an abortion—they needed to wait that long to confirm a pregnancy and its placement. With advances in ultrasound technology—specifically the ability to conduct trans-vaginal ultrasounds—providers can now verify an intrauterine pregnancy as early as 4 weeks. Women no longer have to wait through weeks of pregnancy symptoms and distress before having a desired abortion. Trans-vaginal ultrasound is a useful tool and shouldn’t be maligned by abortion rights supporters seeking to make a quick exaggerated political point.

Feeling SMARTER now?

And oh btw, how do think they perform an abortion w/o touching the vagina? Come on, tell us that, oh great mind. If transvaginal ultrasound is rape, what the heck is abortion itself? Rape AND murder?

Ultrasounds Already Part of VA Planned Parenthood Abortion Procedure

Here's another source. Planned Parenthood routinely does ultrasounds, and those are transvaginal for earlyi pregnancies. They even do two. And they require three visits, so there'd be no problem showing the woman a copy. You really should spread the word to your fellow liberals so they won't make fools of themselves either.

....

The Virginia League for Planned Parenthood didn’t immediately return calls yesterday. But here’s what it said on the recording for its abortion services information hotline:

“Patients who have a surgical abortion generally come in for two appointments. At the first visit we do a health assessment, perform all the necessary lab work, and do an ultrasound. This visit generally takes about an hour. At the second visit, the procedure takes place. This visit takes about an hour as well. For out of town patients for whom it would be difficult to make two trips to our office, we’re able to schedule both the initial appointment and the procedure on the same day.

Medical abortions generally require three visits. At the first visit, we do a health assessment, perform all the necessary lab work, and do an ultrasound. This visit takes about an hour. At the second visit, the physician gives the first pill and directions for taking two more pills at home. The third visit is required during which you will have an exam and another ultrasound.”

From a health perspective, these ultrasounds are critical. They detect the exact age of the fetus, which often dictates which type of abortion procedure the woman can receive. They can also spot potential complications that could impact the procedure, like ectopic pregnancies. In clinics that don’t have access to ultrasound technology, sometimes pelvic exams can be used as a substitute. But those are arguably just as invasive as the transvaginal ultrasounds pro-choice activists are decrying.

In other words, the real reason pro-choicers oppose the law isn’t because of the “invasiveness” or “creepiness” of ultrasounds. It can’t be it. Virginia Planned Parenthood clinics already include them in its abortion procedures.

And let’s be honest. The main reason pro-lifers support the Virginia ultrasound bill isn’t out of medical necessity — not if these scans are already standard operating procedure at clinics.

Here's a pro-abortionist who think you liberals stupid "rape" and "vaginal probing" will scare women into not having abortions:

Prominent abortion supporter concedes Ultrasounds “a benign and routine part of the abortion procedure“
.....
Carole Joffe, a professor emerita at the University of California-Davis, wrote at Slate.com yesterday that she has “considerable concerns about what calling ultrasounds ‘rape’ and ‘unnecessary’ will mean for abortion patients and providers.”
....
She quotes a longtime abortion provider, who asked (either tongue in cheek or out of a genuine concern), “Are we now going to have to convince our patients we are not raping them?”
.....
Get that? A “benign and routine part of the abortion procedure” has been turned ”into a cause for alarm.” If you or I wrote this (and, as it happened, I have, numerous times), we would be dismissed as pro-life ‘fanatics.’
......

“now that women have heard abortion supporters describe this form of ultrasound as ‘rape,’ will more of them be terrified when they arrive at a clinic and are informed they will have such a procedure? Or might they be scared off altogether? Will abortion clinic staff who perform the ultrasound be seen as ‘rapists,’ as the provider I mentioned earlier worried?”
