Hey Rick, froth this. The good news is that our outrage helped. Virginia’s governor Bob McDonnell is now backing off his unconditional support for the bill that would require women to have a horribly invasive procedure known as a “transvaginal ultrasound” before getting an abortion (something that was still legal last time I checked!).
Just a short time ago, McDonnell issued a statement
Mandating an invasive procedure in order to give informed consent in not a proper role for the state. No person should be directed to undergo an invasive procedure by the state, without their consent, as a precondition to another medical procedure.”
Good for him. Perhaps the rest of the Republican party will wake up soon too.
In case you hadn’t seen a visual depiction of just what this trans-vaginal procedure looks like, here you go:
Of course, the sycophantic and idiotic Dana Loesch thinks that’s just like having sex!
I just can’t wait for tonight’s debate to hear the four old white guys up on the stage tell us women what we can and can’t do with our bodies!
This morning on the show, after stewing for a while again about the insanity in today’s GOP, I spoke with Lois Frankel, congressional candidate from Florida’s 22nd District – you know, the one that Allen West is running away from.
In the second hour, I chatted with my buddy Jason Leopold, one of the few remaining investigative journalists. Jason takes advantage of the Freedom of Information Act regularly – and just last week filed a lawsuit against the FBI and a number of other governmental agencies over their apparent disdain for following the laws regarding FOIA.
And thank you once again Lee Camp…
