Ahh Republicans, once the proud party of Lincoln, now reduced by conservative dominionists to a Medieval spectre of horror. The latest proclamtion by purported small government conservatives? How about we tie down those fornicating sluts and rape them with high tech dildos:
(HuffPo) — The mandated procedure requires that a woman’s vagina be distended with a speculum and that a probe be inserted into the vagina and manipulated around so as to produce a high-resolution picture of the uterus and surrounding organs — once again, for no medically sound reason. Governor Bob McDonnell has said that he will sign the bill.
That would be Bob McDonnell, top contender for Vice President on the GOP ticket, seemingly hell bent on protecting the progeny of rapists from sea to shining sea. How else will the prisons of tomorrow be populated and profitable? Also too, Freedom!

It would be so much simpler if the police were to carry this equipment on them at all times so these scans could be administered on the spot at the discretion of the officer.
*vomits*

Good idea Zinc. And shouldn’t we be assessing sin taxes on contraception? That deficit isn’t gonna shrink itself.

This law is Orwellian.
Aren’t the proponents of State directed rape the same people who argue that docs and pharmacists need a legal right to deny care under a conscience clause?

Careful guys! I’m sure there are people around who will thank you for the good ideas.

June: Woman shall have a GPS device installed inside their uteri that will record all sexual encounters and their menstrual cycles in order to document any possible pregnancies.
Stephen "DarkSyde" Andrew says
Baal, that’s a damn good question. I passed it on to some bloggers who have the background to look into it. Thanks!

The bill should be amended. Any man receiving dental care should be required to submit to a prostate exam.
Wren, a Tru Hoppist says
Having had a few trans-vaginal ultrasounds, I can say that they are not pleasant. And if the technician can’t find what xe is looking for, xe has to push hard inside the uterus to find it. It’s unpleasant and it can be painful.
But, we all know bitches ain’t shit and that some cells which can’t feel pain are more important than a woman, who can feel pain/discomfort.
Katherine Lorraine, Chaton de la Mort says
I wrote to Troglodyte Bob about this heinous enforcement. It’s absolutely nothing short of state-mandated rape via medical proxy. What happens when a rape victim wants an abortion?
“Well honey, sorry that you were raped, but the law says I’ve gotta jam this medical instrument up into your vagina without your consent. It’s all your fault for being a slut.”
*burning with rage at having to type that*
It’s slut-shaming, it’s medically unecessary, and I am going to hope that a panel of OB-GYNs basically say “no fucking way” and protest this bill – if not outright sue to get it overturned. This has to be the most evil bill I’ve seen passed in years.
