And if you want to terminate your pregnancy, a legal medical procedure in this country, you shouldn’t have to have medically unnecessary and invasive procedures that are designed to shame you and make that decision more difficult.

That’s what the ultrasound legislation is all about, and it’s not better legislation if it did exempt victims of rape and incest.

This ultrasound legislation is the new rage in the wingnut war on women, several other states have or are trying to pass such legislation (OK among them).

Think about it. This is a state mandated medical procedure. It is done for the purpose of intimidating women into a level of guilt in the hope of them deciding not to have an abortion. It’s not done for the health of the woman. It is mandated in order to make these women feel guilty.

Now, were have we heard anger regarding “state mandated” medicine before?

Irony.
