Anti-choice legislation is nothing more than men trying to keep their dominance over women. When I saw the device used for a transvaginal ultra-sound -- hell that was nothing more than one other way for men to fuck women since it looked like a big penis.

I had to have one a couple years ago, and to say it was unpleasant would be an understatement.

Mine was done due to legitimate, medical reasons. Making a woman endure that due to some lunatic fundie's whim is simply unconscionable.

It is not comfortable at all. I can't imagine if I was raped and then had to endure this probe to end a rapists baby.. traumatized from the rape, traumatized from the state.

Let's see.. the level of discomfort is in the realm of having your mom or child unexpectedly walking in on you in a compromising position.. Maybe we could help men understand for them it would be equivalent to their mom's jacking them off. You don't use this dildo shaped sonogram devise unless you must for medical reasons.. there's no reason to require a sonogram on a woman who is aborting.

They're running the old cell-phone in the restaurant series instead. The comics section of Yahoo news has the current strip. I'm glad he's taking on the issue. Getting raped by a 10" dildo just adds insult to injury for women who have already made a difficult decision. It's just wrong on far too many levels.

There's the Sentinel, but it is Carlisle-centric.
