Turns out state mandated rape of pregnant women is not as much of a winner as some Republicans expected, including Virginia governor Bob McDonnell (R). McDonnell, who has grandiose plans to be a VP nominee, is backing off his committment to sign the forced ultrasound bill. And now the Virginia House of Delegates is dropping the transvaginal probe provision. Really, really big government, courtesy of the party who preaches small government and keeping the government out of our private lives.
The mandated transvaginal ultrasound reminded me of the Inquisition, and apparently I'm not the only one.

You know, the sort of government that not only tells you how to do everything, but is everywhere. Kind of like universal, don't you know...one size fits all, and all fit one size...what's the word for that...oh yeah, catholic!
And of course, once you know that, the term Roman Catholic, and its association with the "brand" of the Roman Empire, and the whole marketing campaign behind it for the last 2000 years, takes on a whole new meaning, doesn't it?
A lot of things would be different, lol.
SB12, sponsored by Sen. Clay Schofield (R), has been passed out of the Senate Health Committee. In true conservaspeak, it's named the "Right to Know and See" act.
