In Virginia, Republicans backed off their vaginal probe ultrasound bill, and the protests just kept coming.
Today in Alabama, where Republicans have also backed off the vaginal part of their vaginal probe bill, protesters gathered. From the looks of the crowd in Montgomery, they're not backing down. More on the show tonight.

(28,498 posts)6. My only thought is that there are state legislators...
...from Alabama's farming and agricultural industries who are pushing for a law demanding women submit to a medical procedure that should only be prescribed by a OB/GYN.
If that's the case, it's quite effective!

Clay Scofield is a poultry farmer in real life. He even looks like a chicken.
