I Don't Think Viginia Is For Lovers Anymore.
That's the only conclusion I can come too when you have a state where jamming a plastic medical device in a woman's vagina because she's considering an abortion seems like a rationale and necessary piece of legislation. Granted, they took out the probe, but they still passed the legislation.
And it's not helping their case that when experts are called in, men outnumber women by a ridiculous amount. Seriously, how can you have a discussion/debate where the topic involves a woman's body, and not have women speak on it? If the contraception flap from the last few weeks heard from every religion but Catholics, they'd be in an uproar (like the conservative ones have been, despite having the conversation revolve around their point of view).
Personally, I don't see how Gov. McDonald recovers from this; all someone has to do is call him the "vaginal probe candidate" and it's a wrap. And if this isn't enough, Virginia, the home of two Va Tech shootings in the last ten years, has decided that waiting a month between buying handguns is way too long. I sure hope some of these legislators are still around to see how this turns out.
