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.

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?

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

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

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.”

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.

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

from wiki

"God Save the Queen"[1] (alternatively "God Save the King") is an anthem used in a number of Commonwealth realms, their territories, and the British Crown Dependencies.[2] The words and title are adapted to the gender of the current monarch, e.g., replacing "Queen" with "King", "she" with "he", and so forth, when a king reigns. The author of the tune is unknown, and it may originate in plainchant, but a 1619 attribution to John Bull is sometimes made.

God Save the Queen is the de facto British national anthem and has this role in some British territories. It is one of two national anthems for New Zealand (since 1977) and for several of Britain's territories that have their own additional local anthem. It is the royal anthem of Australia (since 1984), Canada (since 1980[3]), Barbados, Jamaica,[citation needed] and Tuvalu. In countries not previously part of the British Empire, the tune of "God Save the Queen" has provided the basis for various patriotic songs, though still generally connected with royal ceremony.[4] In the United States, the British anthem's melody is used for the patriotic "My Country, 'Tis of Thee."

This is the bit I like:

Beyond its first verse, which is consistent, it has many historic and extant versions: Since its first publication, different verses have been added and taken away and, even today, different publications include various selections of verses in various orders.[5] In general, only one verse is sung. Sometimes two verses are sung, and on rare occasions, three.[6]

The sovereign and his or her consort are saluted with the entire anthem, while other members of the royal family who are entitled to royal salute (such as the Prince of Wales) receive just the first six bars. The first six bars also form all or part of the Vice Regal Salute in some Commonwealth realms outside the UK (e.g., in Canada, governors general and lieutenant governors at official events are saluted with the first six bars of "God Save the Queen" followed by the first four and last four bars of "O Canada"), as well as the salute given to governors of British overseas territories.

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

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.
