This bill will require many women in Virginia to undergo vaginal penetration with an ultrasound probe against their consent in order to exercise their constitutional right to an abortion, even for nonsurgical, noninvasive, pharmaceutical abortions. This kind of government intrusion shocks the conscience and demonstrates the disturbing lengths Republican legislators will go to prevent women from controlling their own reproductive destiny.
I offered an amendment that would have protected women from the unwanted vaginal penetration required by this bill. House Republicans rejected that amendment. The next time Virginia Republicans speak the words government intrusion I hope voters will remember this vote and hold them accountable for their hypocrisy.

Deany has a vagina? Really? STOP the presses...Oh Dean, you're just pissed that you don't get to probe any yourself.
Sad little man

are you bringing your blow-up doll down Chris?......
It's a forced vaginal probe without consent.
What part of that don't you understand?
A state voted on it and passed it.
Don't move to Virginia, pussy.
I live in Virginia, punk.
Yeah, the extremist anti-choicer Republicans are pretty clearly queer when it comes to issues of human sexuality.
Woman basically frighten them.
A forced invasive vaginal probe is "blown out of proportion?"
Bullshit.
We are going to hammer the Republcans on this one.
Of course you are.
Explain to me how you are going to argue against the procedure when it is required for the abortion pill? Non surgical abortions require this.
Do you want an abortionist to now go in blind? Are you that crazy?
Because if you want the transvaginal ultrasound banned, how are abortionists going to be able to properly designate which procedure to apply to the patient?
That's the Republican line. Pretending something like this "necessary".
Right wingers scream I make this stuff up. Stuff like this wouldn't even enter my mind. Why they get mad at me for spelling out their policies is a mystery.

Now getting CrayonBoy to school deany would be interesting since BOTH are rabid dumbfucks.Of course you are.

I must admit that I'm pleasantly surprised that you agree with me.Are they fucking serious? This is rape.And the ultrasound legislation would constitute an unprecedented government mandate to insert vaginal ultrasonic probes into women as part of a state-ordered effort to dissuade them from terminating pregnancies, legislative opponents noted.
If the cons here aren't against this then I will never believe another thing they say when they whine about big government.
How does any doctor perform an abortion without being at least a tiny eensey weensey little bit invasive? Is there a teleporter involved? It appears that maybe the invasive component can't be the primary objection under the circumstances.
That said, I am not at all sure WHY a legislature thinks it has to mandate the use of an internal ultrasound as part of that (or any other) medical procedure, however. I mean, maybe their medical expertise is just more complete than the doctors' expertise? I hate to agree with Ravi as a matter of general principle. But even she can occasionally make a fair point.
(But, even so, Ravi, please. You can drop the pretext. No matter what position conservatives take on this -- or almost any other issue -- you don't "believe" conservatives anyway. On that topic, your mind is not just closed. It's rusted shut.)
Again,its personal responsibility,if people cannot have relations without being irresponsible,or incurring a redistribution on taxpayers,keep your fuckin legs closed.
Even Planned Parenthood uses transvaginal ultrasounds.

Right winger "expertise" is always "better". Better than scientists. Better than "engineers". Better than "historians". Because the right wing doesn't need pesky facts or unreliable data. They have "gut feelings" and can "talk to Gawd".
Proverbs 6:16-19
New International Version (NIV)
16 There are six things the LORD hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.

They don't believe they do. They make it up as they go along and rewrite history when they are finished.

But, you can't "rewrite" the Bible.
