We have another instance in which radical Republican state
legislatures are seeking to deny women basic human rights. This time it is the Republicans who control
the Virginia state legislature.
The Republican controlled Virginia state legislature is
expected to pass and the conservative Republican governor is expected to sign a
law that will require women seeking an abortion to undergo a procedure in which a vaginal ultrasonic probe is inserted in
their body against their will in an effort to dissuade them from terminating
their pregnancies. Republicans are hailing this as "an update to the
state's existing informed consent laws using the most advanced medical
technology available."
Virginia State Representative Todd Gilbert expressed what is
obviously the viewpoint of most Republican legislators. He diminished the gravity of a woman’s
decision to have an abortion saying, "in
the vast majority of these cases, these are matters of lifestyle
convenience."
This is beyond disgusting.
