When I first heard the term "vaginal probe" I thought that it was something that NASA was involved with. "The Vaginal Probe continued to send photos back to Earth after its successful landing on Venus." I know that Uranus was the obvious joke, but I chose not to sink that low.
A transvaginal procedure. Just saying that out loud makes you go "ow"! Voting on this mandate are male legislators that run like the wind the minute their doctor comes at them during a prostate exam. Why isn't there a transpenis procedure that mandates that a man should see his sperm that started this whole thing in the first place?
Virginia "softened" their controversial bill. Women can decline a transvaginal procedure. Quickly, a show of hands as to how many women would want that procedure. Mandated is an ultrasound. Just what a woman wants to see after making such an important sensitive decision to terminate a pregnancy. To paraphrase Cuba Gooding, "show me the fetus!"
Where are the wives of these legislators? Are they more interested in appearing on the Real Housewives of Richmond? Are they so Stepfordian that they don't realize what is being dictated to themselves, their daughters, and granddaughters? I haven't heard from one of these politician's wives saying, "You vote for that crap, don't you dare come near me with that thing of yours. Not going to happen." They never speak up. I AM WOMAN HEAR ME SNORE.
Last week the Senate narrowly voted down the Blunt amendment. An amendment that gave any employer the right to refuse to cover any kind of health care service by citing "moral reasons". Blunt argued that requiring an employer to cover health care services that they oppose is an attack on religious freedom. We need an attack on religious freedom. Otherwise employers, based on their moral beliefs, could deny: pre-natal care for single Moms, aids-hiv screenings, certain vaccinations for children.
I suppose if your boss was a Christian Scientist he wouldn't have to provide health care services for any of his employees. I suppose if your boss found out that you voted for a black man for President that you couldn't get a flu shot. I suppose if Paula Deen's employer found out that she liked butter he wouldn't provide for her insulin. The failure of the Blunt bill has left the "moral decisions" back to where they belong - the good old insurance companies. What a freakin' system!
The Blunt barking was only about one moral belief anyway. Birth control. Contraception. They believe that women were on their own when it came to this. Men on the other hand could get their Viagra and have erections lasting up to six hours. Men could also get vasectomies covered by insurance. We men are so selfish. Most men would get along just fine in one tub by themselves in a Cialis commercial.
Men telling women what to do with their private parts is happening in this country. Hard to believe. When did we become Yemen? We have the audacity to ridicule other countries where women can't drive and are treated like second class citizens while we treat our own women like they aren't in the room. Ironically they weren't in the room. Think Darrell Issa.
I wish that all of these anti-women legislators, Catholic bishops, Rush, Santorum, Huckabee, and Newt would take the next ride on the Vaginal Probe and establish their own colony on the moon. Far, far, away.
