In Some States, It’s Perfectly Legal To Perform Non-Consensual Pelvic Exams On Women Under Anesthesia, And There’s A Petition Going Around To Outlaw This In New Mexico

“I am a healthcare professional with more than forty years in nursing– thirty-five of those in women’s health. These nonconsensual pelvic exams are an unthinkable violation of both a woman’s body and trust in her care providers,” wrote one petitioner, Tobie Pate.

“I understand the need for medical students to learn, but it is only right to get permission. I am sure some women would not have a problem with this, but many will. There is no need to take away an individual’s right to privacy of body and mind,” wrote another petitioner, Linda Miller.

A’magine has also posted updates regarding her legislation efforts in other states, including Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Colorado.

To support the outlawing of nonconsensual cervical exams in New Mexico and remain updated on the regulation progress in other states where the practice is still legal, you can visit the Change.org petition linked here.
