Ladypeople, Indiana Republicans would like a look at your insides

Are you fucking kidding me? :eek:
Coming to a state near you!

Covering an Indiana State Senate hearing yesterday, the essential Indianapolis Star reporter Mary Beth Schneider had a question: Would the Republican-sponsored bill being discussed by the committee, on the use of abortion-inducing drugs, require women to undergo a vaginal ultrasound? Because this kind of thing is more usually private, she then explained for the guys in her Twitter audience what, exactly, a vaginal ultrasound was.

The Indiana Senate committee ended up passing the bill, with all Democrats and one Republican voting no. And Schneider learned that the answer to her question of whether Indiana would require women to undergo vaginal probing is yes, times two. From her report in the Indy Star:

Women obtaining an abortion-inducing drug would be required to undergo an ultrasound before and after taking the drug under a bill approved Wednesday by an Indiana Senate committee.

Though the bill doesn’t specify that it be a transvaginal ultrasound, in which a several-inch-long probe is inserted in the woman, that’s exactly what Indiana would be requiring, said Dr. John Stuts*man, an Indiana University School of Medicine professor and obstetrician-gynecologist....

While the woman is not required to keep that [second] appointment, the physician must make a “reasonable effort” to ensure she does.


Imagine for a moment that second phone call, where the doctor's office tries to coax the woman back in for a second medically unnecessary invasive ultrasound. When these vaginal probe bills have come up, people have had little trouble picturing them for the interwebs.

O. M. G.

are you serious??????? no, no, no, no way this can happen.

NONE.

I can't believe this.

I like the comments:

Indeed, Would you pull that crap with Annette?

I mean, Good GAWD. :headshake

Listen, when you are all wearing your burkas, as god intended, the vag probe will be necessary because how will we be able to tell what's going on inside your mysterious lady bits?

I hope I am not the only person who sees fundamentalism alive and well here int the good ol' US of A. Maybe we could call those folks Am Qaida.

You want to stick what into where?
No I don't think so.
You stick anything in there you pay, buster.

(bite it off anyway with my vagina dentata)

I am laughing my tits off right now.

sing with me now:



Official English


O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Or, for those of us who don't want to move to the Bullshit Canada:

Ô Canada!
Terre de nos aïeux,
Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux!
Car ton bras sait porter l'épée,
Il sait porter la croix!
Ton histoire est une épopée
Des plus brillants exploits.
Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

Since women are the majority, you better get your shit together and deal with the traitors in your ranks. The traitors that collude with these wackos, the traitors that can't be bothered with politics, the traitors that only vote in Presidential elections, if at all.

I've said repeatedly, the Presidential election was a distraction, a dog&pony show, to keep you from noticing the push by the far right to take governorships and state legislatures. To gerrymander state voting districts, and pass legislation to control your ladybits like you could never imagined.

Your righteous indignation after the fact is cute. Now either get off your ass and make a difference... or make the guys a sandwich. :eyebrow:

(I think those last two lines mean "protect our noses from frostbite")

Let's start Occupy Vagina!

Since we've segued into national anthems, I'mma stop you there and post some stuffs about the brit anthem:

from wiki

This is the bit I like:


God save our gracious Queen!
Long live our noble Queen!
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save The Queen!

O Lord our God arise,
Scatter her enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.

Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen

Start a C-party?

God save our gracious Queen!
Where no vaginas probed!
God save the Queen!

Huzzah!

Great idea!! I'll gladly help occupy.

Ok. I'm totally freaked out. I don't think I'll be visiting England anytime soon. Talk about a snapper.....

That's Indiana for you. It's a lost cause. The people here deserve its government.

Or El Murica.

Hey hey hey! I don't want no gubermint vag probe! I did not vote Republican! :eyebrow: Its only passed the senate and has to go to the house maybe some one will get their head out of my vagina and get rid of that part of this stooopid bill!

Is there ever a time when a transvaginal ultrasound is truly necessary over a regular on-the-belly one? Back when I was a fertility patient I thought I'd received about every invasive procedure you could imagine, yet I'd never even heard of a transvaginal ultrasound until the last year or two, in conjunction with this new nonsense requiring women to get one before an abortion. I suppose logically you could guess that it produces better images, but really, when you consider the anatomy, there seems to be more tissue between the vagina and the baby--like the whole cervix on the bottom, and intestines towards the back--compared to the relatively thin outer abdominal wall. Development of the fetus doesn't seem like it should matter either: they can see a little fertilized egg with a regular ultrasound at even 6 weeks.

Clod, dear, do you seriously think facts are even remotely relevant here?

They just are not saying what they really want. They are looking for a viriginal birth. The State of Indiana wants to find the second coming of Christ.

Why are the crazy people in charge?

well, you know, the female body has a way of shutting that whole process down...*




"legitimate rape" only; intended and /or 'asked for' rapes-not so much.

I know several ultrasound chickas. I'll ask them. but I think it's more about humiliation than anything. I've had an intravag and it IS pretty....uh, invasive.

!!!
I'm totally up for that!

:thumbsup:

You have no idea how long I've wanted to occupy a vagina. Or even just a visit.

Some vagina's are dangerously twisty and narrow in places and you should be prepared with a shovel and flashlight and emergency flares should you ever find your way out and wish to save yourself. Perhaps a passing pirate ship would take pity on you? One never knows. That's why we get up every morning.

Geez you guys are funny! :lol:

Summer's Eve
Makes me feel fine
Blowin' through the...

Oh never mind. ;)

Shouldn't this title be

BOOMP OMP

Wouldn't that be the Second Cumming of God?

Believe me, I've been there and met the locals from north to south, east to west.


Christ ain't coming to no Indiana.

It has the distinction of being the worst state in the Union----followed closely by Ohio.

again, I ask, why is living here so cheap? Because NOBODY wants to live here. We are slaves to low rents and mind control (MK Ultra my werid-o pal says is still going strong and she should know....she works at Wright-Patterson AFB)

I have GOTTA get me one of those.

To get across the bridge to where the twisty vags is you must answer me these questions three:

1) What is it you quest?

2) What is your favorite color?

3) What is the capitol of Wisteria?

:f215: I included the flag of Wales because it's so fucking cool. No other reason.

You're in fine form today, Trilby. :lol2:

Medicated-induced upswing, no doubt.

I'm not bi-polar per se; but I'm somewhere on the spectrum, which entitles me to act an ass; not that I get away with it. I have a very intolerant family. They hate any deviation from the norm. Did I mention my mother was head cheerleader?* And my father was a navy pilot? AND an engineer? well, that's what you get from that.






*spare me the 'blowjob' jokes.

I'm not a gynecologist. But I'll take a look anyway.

The Misogyny Continues
 

Oklahoma May Deny Women Affordable Birth Control Because It ‘Poisons Their Bodies’

Oklahoma already prevents women from using their insurance plans to help cover abortion services, but Republicans aren’t stopping there. One state lawmaker wants to continue stripping insurance coverage for reproductive health services, advancing a measure that would allow employers to refuse to cover birth control for any reason — based solely on the fact that one of his constituents believes it “poisons women’s bodies.”

Under State Sen. Clark Jolley (R)’s measure, “no employer shall be required to provide or pay for any benefit or service related to abortion or contraception through the provision of health insurance to his or her employees.” According to the Tulsa World, Jolley’s inspiration for his bill came from one of his male constituents who is morally opposed to birth control, and wanted to find a small group insurance plan for himself and his family that didn’t include coverage for those services:

Jolley said the measure is the result of a request from a constituent, Dr. Dominic Pedulla, an Oklahoma City cardiologist who describes himself as a natural family planning medical consultant and women’s health researcher. [...]

Women are worse off with contraception because it suppresses and disables who they are, Pedulla said.

“Part of their identity is the potential to be a mother,” Pedulla said. “They are being asked to suppress and radically contradict part of their own identity, and if that wasn’t bad enough, they are being asked to poison their bodies.”

Dear God save me from your followers

amen

Was it Ghandi who said, "You Christians are so unlike your Christ." ?


So Oklahoma (where the wind comes sweeping down the plain) is scratched off Places to See Before you Die along with Indiana. the only reason to go to South Carolina would be to stare at the natives and see Charleston.



eta: I've never been to Charleston but hear it's gorgeous and charming. But it also has that good ol' southern cry "War of Northern aggression" bullshit wrapped up in it's consciousness. I've been to many Southern cities and the only good one is NOLA and I think that's because it was such a hot mess of different peoples to begin with--French, Spanish, Cuban, Dominicans, Haitians, African Americans who passed due to all the inter, um, loving (raping?) having quadroons, octoroons, a true port city rich with pirates and whores. now that's what I like in a city. A bit humid; you want to wilt even in Feb. but a nice mix of all kinds of folks getting along (usually) with one another and a wicked corrupt police force.

Thank heavens there are MEN like Dr. Pedulla to explain to women how their bodies work! Where would you lot be without people like him?

Maybe the answer is for the US to split into 50 different countries, then let all the crazy ass OK people do what they want, the non crazy ass ones can move somewhere else.

Interesting how Dr. Pedulla says women are being asked to poison themselves and betray their identities. By... whom, exactly? As if women are being fed contraceptives against their will?

Feminists....wait, no...

As if motherhood is the ONLY identity for a woman.

The only choice.

"Mother AND sandwich maker," thank you very much.

Lesbians :yesnod:

AND naughty little harlot, don't forget that. Men like Dr. Pedulla are very particular about wanting their tigresses in the bedroom, not just their mommies in the nursery and kitchen.

Thank you dear, well done, now don't forget to gargle before you kiss my children good night. :haha:

I have family in Indiana and in South Carolina and in Oklahoma. They won't miss you.

I guess people see what they want to see.

Sorry, realised it was far better in the Upset Thread because it made me really upset.
This was simply the first wimmins' issues thread I'd found.

Don't you grind on my face boi.
Beards leave marks.
(Actually maybe that only stubble)

Will this continue all week?

As the proud owner of a beard, I suggest you think of it like that large spinning brush that comes down on the hood at a car wash, signifying that your wash is nearing the end.:p:
