No Virginia, it’s not really about the fetus. It’s all about the probe. Democrats had sought to allow doctors to use other imaging methods but Republicans insisted that doctors put an instrument inside the woman’s vagina. Why? Well, since there’s no medical reason for it, the only possible explanation is that they want to “send a message.” You know. About who’s boss.

[NB: more than just cis women seek out abortion care and so will be affected by this shitastic law in VA.]

I say that every politician that votes for this should be randomly picked up by 2-6 guys and thrown into a windowless van, driven to a remote location and be given a colonoscopy without lube, while being tied down and fondled. Then afterwards thrown into the street with a bill for the procedure pinned to their shirt that has the closing line of “Your legislature doing its part to cure colon cancer. Payment due in 30 days. Have a nice day.”
