Genius-Doctor Indiana Republicans Approve Religion-Based Ultrasounds, How Nice Of Them

You’ve heard of RU-486, right? It’s that pill women can take that induces an abortion without anyone having to perform surgery. It’s way safer than surgical abortion (and pregnancy), and it doesn’t require any fancy surgical rooms to administer. It’s a good way to make abortions available in places where surgical ones, for whatever reason, are impractical.

This, logically, makes Republicans very mad. The ones in Indiana are so mad, in fact, that if you try to get this legal, FDA-approved medication, they will put a stick in your hoo-ha!

The Evansville Courier Press tells us what the Indiana Senate just passed:

Women seeking abortion-inducing drugs would have to get ultrasounds first and the clinics that prescribe them would have to follow a new set of regulations under a measure approved by the Senate on Tuesday.


Ah, the old make-em-get-an-ultrasound routine: For when a woman is just too stupid to have made an informed decision without a plastic wand inserted into her. It’s a great way to scare people off when they are trying to do something you don’t want them to do. Wait 10 years; Republicans will be saying anyone who wants to raise taxes should get a transvaginal ultrasound. People who propose gun control too, so watch yourself, Reasonable People.

every time they want sex.

They can't even use the excuse this is to protect the un-born, because this is to prevent those who want to stop themselves from becoming pregnant, there is no fetus, this is just about humiliating women.

4. True, I fail to see what an ultrasound would show the 'morning after'.

It's the animal male desire for power over the lesser animal female of any species.
