Rectal Probe Amendment Attached to 'Mandatory Ultrasound' Bill Fails to Pass Virginia Senate | Angry Black Lady Chronicles

Turn around is fair play!

If Teanuts can invade privacy of women's bodies, they should have privacy of their rectums invaded!

Rectal probe? Sounds like a good experience for Teapublicans. Janet Howell should be the first one as a role model for others.

A new protest bumper sticker? Up Yours with a close up picture of an anus? I suppose it might cause a few auto accidents.

Damn! I was looking forward to all of that probing!

And just when they were so close to finding Romney's head up there!

Gender equality? For real? GTFOH!

Don't worry, folks. Teathugs are not quite done just yet because they have some other big ideas about debasing people. This rectal probe thingy does not exempt their teathuggery base that continues to support insanity that is definitely not in their best interests.

OTOH, if women can't have contraceptives, then maybe men should not automatically be given access to penile dysfunction medications. Hmmm, tapping foot, maybe this is really about gender equality. Bend over and take it, men. Oh, my bad. Men won't be treated with such disdain after all.

I always thought rectal probing was only for alien abductions. NOW, I find out that the right wing is absolutely enamored with sticking things up peoples' asses.

I thought that the right was against mandates... Oh that is only when they don't like it... if they want to mandate you to do something that is okay....

As usual the hypocritical right is at it again.. putting down the health care mandate because the government should not have the right to make you buy something and yet are forcing women to buy a procedure they don't want or need...

TYPICAL.. This is the way it will be if a republican wins the white house ladies... get out and vote this November.

I am ready to fight this war on women. If they tried to force an ultrasound on me that probe would be up them so fast their head would spin. It is time to call out the gop lie that they want government out of people's lives.

Well, I'm with Senator Howell. If tiny vagina governments are going to be forced upon women, then we should demand that men be subject to tiny anal governments. Let's see how they like it.

I loved this at the end.

A woman in Kansas recently put a similar provision in a bill there. It didn't get very far, but I think the point is beginning to be understood by those who want to control women (because that's ALL that this is about, IMO). Barely, but it's a start!!

Your Mother is a very smart Lady. Tell her I said "Happy Birthday". It's nice to see you as always.

I work nights, most of the time, so sometimes, I have a problem with time...................

But, heavy sigh here, I don't have to tell my mother she's smart, she tells me, ummmmmmmmmm at least once a day.

Fighting For Rights, our paths don't seem to cross as much as I'd like, but, we do seem to be on the same path, most of the time, just different paces.

That's what friends are for. The good ones always come back. I still remember the first day we met......I go back there to reread that article once in a while.

LOL!

do you want to have your butt poked each time you fill your prescription?

they are a few others that wanted to pass this bill that NEED their butts poked!! Turn around (and bend over) is fair play!!

Happy

"do you want to have your butt poked each time you fill your prescription"

I guess that depends on the situation :-)

LOL!

fireworks! bursts of bright lights . . .

. . . TMI

;-D

but they will make it quite literally a "pain in the ass" to exercise that right.

Nice!

LMAO

Which one of the following restrictions do you object to:

-Background checks

-Over the age of 18 to purchase a handgun

-No firearms for felons

-No firearms for the mentally ill or developmentally disabled (read: mentally retarded)

Those all sound pretty reasonable to me.

I don't mean to derail anything here, I just keep hearing about how there are so many gun restrictions for getting strapped but in truth it could scarcely be easier.

I just bought a .45 ACP automatic handgun last week, online. Cost about $300 brand, spankin' new.

There are individual state laws that get in the way of carrying them around, but... I thought libertarian types liked the whole state's rights gambit?

-Background checks

Did anyone do a background check on Bernie Madoff?

-Over the age of 18 to purchase a handgun

Game members are usually under the age of 18 and ALL have handgun(s)

-No firearms for felons

Anybody with enough money can purchase a firearm illegally. Well known fact.

-No firearms for the mentally ill or developmentally disabled (read:mentally retarded)

And yet, many homes have firearms and there are many articles about mentally ill people getting firearms and shooting their entire family. Although to be fair, not just the mentally ill are/have been in the news for committing crimes of this nature.

Those all sound pretty reasonable to me.

But the thing is, there are ways of getting around just about anything. People are highly adaptable. And when people are in survival mode, all bets are off. With the present climate, I'd say many are about to go into "survival mode".

Did anyone do a background check on Bernie Madoff?

What does that have to do with firearms?

Game members are usually under the age of 18 and ALL have handgun(s)

I'll assume you mean "Gang members" and this is not even remotely true. It is easy to get them in the US, but this statement right here is a complete fabrication.

Anybody with enough money can purchase a firearm illegally. Well known fact.

So... you're suggesting that it should be legal for felons to own handguns because it is easy to buy them illegally in the United States?

And yet, many homes have firearms and there are many articles about mentally ill people getting firearms and shooting their entire family. Although to be fair, not just the mentally ill are/have been in the news for committing crimes of this nature.

I don't think I clearly understand what you are saying here.

Are you suggesting that the law is meaningless because it can be broken?

But the thing is, there are ways of getting around just about anything. People are highly adaptable. And when people are in survival mode, all bets are off. With the present climate, I'd say many are about to go into "survival mode".

Let me get this straight:

Are you saying that, because laws themselves do not prevent an illegal thing from happening, then that law is useless?

I apologize if I sound rude or condescending, but that seems like a logical fallacy.

With the present climate, I'd say many are about to go into "survival mode".

Maybe so.

Just to be perfectly clear, what exactly are you getting at?

LIke, zombie apocalypse survivors or "Screw it. I'm moving to the Nowhere, Montana to live off the land?"

Yep Lola, just what we need, another man-hating woman in a legislative position.

Not sure when she comes up for re-election, but the bumper slogans and signs for her opponent will make the front page for sure.

LBB - Man hating woman in a legislative position??????????? What about all these so-called men in the tea party and the gop - all up in women's uteruses(spelling??) taking away women's rights, their access to birth control. Birth control should be free to all women (and men - condoms). Better to prevent the pregnancy than to abort.

Y'all just don't get it do you?

As far as the Viagra is concerned - maybe they should perform a cardiac stress test and do a rectal probe - to make sure everything is up to snuff .

What about all these so-called men in the tea party and the gop - all up in women's uteruses(spelling??)

I thought that was always the pizza delivery guy.

Freedom to take birth control is a whole lot different then free birth control. In essence you are making people that don't believe in birth control (other then abstaining) pay for birth control. Women should have the right to the pill, morning after and should these fail (or most likely failed to be used in the first place) then a right to an abortion. But no way no how should someone that is opposed to this have to buy it for them. Right there is where you have a lot of the problems and fights. You have the right to have an abortion. You don't have the right to take the money from me to pay for it.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah - better to provide free birth control than abortion.

I didn't know I could pick and choose what my taxes pay for? I want my taxes to pay for birth control, I DO NOT want my taxes to pay for unjust wars that kill innocent born women and children.

Blah, blah, blah..... better for people to pay for their own or have private organizations and charities provide birth control and abortion. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I didn't know I could pick and choose what my taxes pay for? I want my taxes to pay for birth control, I DO NOT want my taxes to pay for unjust wars that kill innocent born women and children.

Well, we can pick and choose. That is why we are fighting in politics :) I don't want my taxes to pay for unjust wars OR abortions. Liberals and conservatives are both right half of the time.

I have no problem paying through my taxes for roads that I dont drive on, police i may never need, or airports i may never use. All of which benefits our country as a whole. I don't understand how Americans don't get that concept, but I do see this country turning into a sad state of, "I got mine, fu(k", mentality.

I have no problem paying through my taxes for roads that I dont drive on

Do you walk everywhere?

You do realize that there is no tax tracker. How do you know you are paying for even one birth control pill? Does that mean you are not going to pay your taxes so you don't have to pay for a child that is not yours?

Yes buckeyenut I do.

FIGHTING FOE RIGHTS, I already pay for children that aren't mine, I pay a butt load in property taxes for schools in my area.

OR abortions.

FYI your taxes don't pay for abortion.

Yes buckeyenut I do

Ever walk on or across a road?

Nope.

That's because the republicans/gop/teaparty enjoy it so much!!!!! They deny it but they enjoy it - the rectal probing that is.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

LOL

You got that right Frank, us Democrats want to be all up in your personal reproductive choices, however, we've yet to figure out how to stop those on the right from talking out their asses.

DNFTFT.

Prescription KY Jelly!

(personally I prefer the strawberry mango scented version)...

ASStroglide!

Lola,

Very NICE.

Fed up,

This:

How can the GOP be against Health Care Mandates when they are steadily trying to mandate what women can and can not do with their own bodies.

Is the single best sentence I've seen on this topic. It captures my frustration with these sonogram laws precisely. FR sent!

Fed up: EXCELLENT comment! I may have to steal that line and use it myself, if it's okay with you....

Sure you can use it.

I honestly have real difficulty with Republicans and their two faced double standard about mandates.

They want one set of rules for men and a different set for women.

The government should have nothing to do with regulating women's reproductive rights

S.G. love the post will use it often.

Republicans were opposed to the amendment out of fear that the procedure would damage their well-hidden heads.

Science guy. Perfect Post!

Sounds like a good name for the bill, doesn't it?

The "Up Yours" Bill.

Has a kind of ring to it. ; )
