So, if we are saying the requirement of a transvaginal ultrasound prior to an abortion is state mandated rape, arent we also saying the ultrasound tech performing the test is a rapist? Are you comfortable with saying someone just doing the requirements of their job is a rapist?

Yes I am because they are rapists. The techs can say no I will not do this.
What does the AMA have to say about this? What about all the other health care professional organizations. What does the Nurses Associations have to say about this. What about radiologists and the techs organizations?
The health care field actually has an
obligation to say no to this. Their silence over the years has been unbelievable and it goes back decades. I think there are only a few (less than 5) medical schools that even teach abortion procedures. GYNs can graduate and get licensed and not know how to do abortions. It's shameful.
And you have Rick Santorum saying states have the right to outlaw contraception...yes make use of contraception a criminal act.
Something like 28 states have laws on the books mandating free contraception for women. These laws were made law in republican controlled states. It was all good until Obama wanted to mandate free contraception.
Somehow I am reminded of the book
Backlash by Susan Faludi.
