Did anyone else see/hear this shit?!?!?!?

CNN’s Dana Loesch Equates Mandatory Trans-Vaginal Ultrasound to Having Sex

Here’s CNN contributor and Andrew Breitbart editor Dana Loesch, saying that a mandatory trans-vaginal ultrasound procedure (vis a vis the new legislation in Virginia) is no more intrusive than regular intercourse.

&feature=player_embedded

That’s the big thing that progressives are trying to say, that it’s rape and so on and so forth. And in fact, this big battle that I’ve, uh, totally won with Keith Olbermann by the way, like, not only won once but twice and three times… uh, there were individuals saying, [high voice] “Oh what about the Virginia rape? The rapes that, the forced rapes of women who are pregnant?” What!?

Wait a minute, they had no problem having similar to a trans-vaginal procedure when they engaged in the act that resulted in their pregnancy.

She then takes to twitter and calls this person a pervert and child molester for pointing out HER words.

I hate these people.

nuggets in here...

Lawmakers who backed the bill, which passed the Senate and House last week, are undeterred by the fact that no medical necessity requires this nor by the likelihood that few of the 26,000 women who seek abortions in Virginia each year will want the procedure. Rather, they are jazzed at the idea that subjecting women to blatant coercion, coupled with the bill’s requirement that the test results be kept forever in women’s medical files, will generate sufficient duress to discourage abortions. Women who refuse to examine the ultrasound image will be made to sign a statement to that effect, which will also remain part of their medical records.

*snip*

This part(bolded) I find disturbing...

Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R), who has broken campaign promises to devise a sustainable fix to Virginia’s transportation funding crisis and another to fight for meaningful nonpartisan redistricting, is not so reticent when it comes to abortion. Through a spokesman, he says he will sign Ms. Vogel’s bill on the grounds that it provides “additional information” to women considering abortions. What “additional information” is that? That fetuses have developing limbs?


There's more to read.

I was trying to think of a way to say she sucks as a woman. She should be thrown out of the femal gender. I know you can't do that, but it sounds good.

I cannot and will not defend a woman who says things like this simply because she's a woman. Don't know it that's right or wrong, but it's how I feel.

Feb 2012

Rape is forced or coerced (by the new law in this case) sexual contact by a stranger, friend or acquaintance (by a doctor in the case of the new law). It is an act of aggression and power combined with some form of sex. A person is forced into sexual contact.... Consent is not given.

Rape is also a legal term that is defined as:
•Penetration of ANY orifice by ANY object...

Rape is about power and dominance; it is not about sex and certainly not about feelings of love and/or affection (and not about health in the case of this new law).

Rape is a hate crime based on gender, power and control.

There's really no excuse at this point for anyone having any illusions about what it is that they want and why they want it.

For them, The Handmaid's Tale is a romantic myth, overly imbued with sexual fantasy and criminal conspiracy. The real world is straighter, tougher, and doesn't have any resistance.

They're just as smart as you or I are. They just want different things.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/101614295

And what I say about this -- because republicans are stupid, but not too stupid to read the polls -- is that they WANT to beat the bushes and get ALL the knuckledraggers out for the primary and especially the general so they can fill those legislatures.

"They had no problem having similar to a trans-vaginal procedure when they engaged in the act that resulted in their pregnancy."

Didn't a legislator in VA say something very similar recently? Do these jackasses realize what they're actually saying? They're telling people that any woman who consented to being penetrated once has no right to object to it ever again. In other words, you've already had sex, so don't complain if you get raped! It's bad enough when men say shit like this, but when a woman says it ... it's a whole new level of despicable!

I don't know what to say about the suggestion a woman who has had sex has given up the right to decide what can be inserted in her body. It's so sickening it doesn't even deserve yelling and screaming. It deserves cold, clear-eyed destruction.

...requiring Virginia Delegates to submit to transrectal ultrasounds before each vote, and the results posted publicly. This is purely an anticorruption measure, which will help track Delegates accepting pricey meals from lobbyists. The citizens of Virginia will also have the added benefit of empirical data on just how full of shit their Delegates are.

Said amendment also stipulates a data collection period to provide a baseline for further analysis (e.g., distinguishing burgers from a Sunday cookout from Filet Mignon at Richmond's finest establishments). Thus, for period of not less than six months, the Delegates will undergo this procedure every three hours (8 times a day, every day).

Let's see the Delegates publicly vote on whether they are for or against political corruption. (/innocent batting of eyelashes)

Let me redirect you.

The trans-vaginal ultrasound in the law is NON-CONSENSUAL. Having a probe inserted inside one's ladyparts without consent is RAPE.

MOST adult women have CONSENSUAL sex. In other words, it is an act of love, and they have made the choice to engage in it.

Any more questions?
