Whenever the anti-abortion folks tell you that it’s about saving babies, ask them whether they spoke out against what’s going on in Oklahoma or if they think that forcing abortion providers to shove an implement unnecessary for the abortion inside a woman before she’s allowed to have an abortion is okay.
If they say that forcing doctors to rape their patients before their patients can get medical treatment is okay, then you know they are anti-abortion because they believe pregnancy is the proper punishment for women and that women who try to get out of their punishment need some other severe psycho-sexual punishment to make up for it.
In other words, they have some really fucked up sexual disfunctions and you should stay far away from them.
This is disgusting and disheartening and I have to believe we need to be vigilant against this kind of nonsense here in Tennessee.
On the other hand, I’m glad they’re so blatant. What person who’d ever loved a woman, even once, could hear about this and not recoil in horror?

There’s a saying that is heard ‘around’ that goes something like…”Only in America.” Now while such abhorrent practices may happen in one way or another in other parts of the world, I thought the States was a civilised first world country. Perhaps I am wrong.

The ultrasound bill just got vetoed by the Governor – http://www.gov.ok.gov/display_article.php?article_id=1381&article_type=1
I’m less enthused about the Governor’s comments about how it would be unfair to victimize rape and incest victims a second time; while true, how about we just agree it’s not okay to force medical procedures/stuff in vagina on anyone, rape victim or not?
Yeah, this is clearly a case of mixed blessings. I’m glad he vetoed it, but if he can’t see how this is a problem, period, I’m not that excited about it.
