I saw the transvaginal rape sponsor on the news last night

She advised that 2 women died from ectopic pregnancies while getting abortions. She assured us that they only care about women's health. Also that their consulting OB/GYN and attorney assured her that this is the "gold standard" of care.

Here is my response:

x thousand people die from colon cancer every year. In the interest of protecting everybody's health, including those unconceived children that might never be born if one potential parent or another gets cancer and dies, my consulting physician* and attorneys* recommend mandating that everybody have colonoscopies. Further, since catching cancer early improves the odds of cure, they should be bi-annual for life.

You may wonder how we will pay for such care. In the interest of preserving religious freedom, protecting the insurance industry, advancing personal responsibility and shrinking the Federal government until it is so small you can shove it where the sun don't shine, you can pay for your government-mandated, bi-annual butt-rape yourself.

* rest assured that my consulting physician's and attorneys' stock holdings in Colons-R-Us had no bearing on their recommendations. Furthermore, in order to ensure there is no appearance of conflict of interest, as soon as the markets buy on rumor that our proposed legislation is about to pass, they promise they will divest themselves of all such holdings.

How about if guys have to stick their cocks in a meat grinder before getting a vasectomy? That might seem extreme, but as a guy that's how I view the ultrasound rape.
