The GOP’s Slut-Shaming Ultrasound Craze Spreads to Illinois
Here we go again.
Now the Republican Party’s slut-shaming craze has spread to Illinois, with yet another uterus inspection bill:
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Illinois women who want to get abortions might be required to either view an ultrasound before the procedure or decline to do so in writing, under proposals that passed an Illinois House committee Tuesday.
The two measures call for more regulations on centers that perform abortions — including requiring doctors to ask if the patient wants to see an ultrasound and additional building regulations on the actual clinics — were passed overwhelmingly in the Agricultural Committee. They head to the House floor for debate.
