Ladypeople, Indiana Republicans would like a look at your insides

Are you fucking kidding me?
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.

I like the comments:

How about this one: every man that requests viagra must demonstrate his erectile dysfunction. To two witnesses.

Again I say, keep your filthy paws off our silky draws. We can no longer allow men to control us. Why don't they try to get into the mens pants instead. Is he wearing boxers or underoos? They still don't understand prioritization when it comes to legislating.

Indeed, Would you pull that crap with Annette?

I mean, Good GAWD.

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.

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.

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

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