This is the country I live in

Next month the U.S. Supreme Court will hear argument about the obscene government overreach that is the individual mandate in President Obama’s health care law. Yet physical intrusion by government into the vagina of a pregnant woman is so urgently needed that the woman herself should be forced to pay for the privilege.

Virginia’s Proposed Ultrasound Law Is an Abomination

Oh god, not "the wand."

This is wrong on so many levels, I hardly know where to begin, but the memory of the OB lubing up the instrument for the ultrasound is the thing foremost in my mind here. And I *wanted* to see the baby. I think people toss around the word rape rather liberally these days, but in this case, I think it might apply. Nobody should be forced into that ultrasound procedure.

The method of obtaining the ultrasound is bad enough, and on top of that, these women have made a painful decision. Way to make everything worse.
