Virginia is poised to pass legislation that would require women to endure this invasive ultrasound, for no medical reason, before receiving an abortion. 

[…] a woman already consented to being “vaginally penetrated when they got pregnant.”

Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me.

Okay. Two things there. So from the moment a woman had sex, she gave her life-long consent to be penetrated? Is that it? Because I thought I had the right to control what goes into my vagina. Also, what about woman who were raped and got pregnant? They never gave consent. This is sexist, a violation of human rights, and just plain horrible. You know what? Screw you with your bullshit.

Right, I just have to say something about this because it pisses me off. Seriously, Virginia?! You want to just strip women of as much dignity as you possibly can. When they might be feeling pretty damn vulnerable already? Coercing a woman to the point where she has no real choice about whether something goes in her vagina or not, this is basically legally sanctioned rape. Or at the very least sexual assault. Fucking hell, Virginia.
