In Virginia Conservatives Have Combined Rape with an Abortion

How nutty can this conservatives get. Now they are saying that because a woman consented to sex it’s the same as inserting an instrument up the vagina for an ultrasound. Why consent to the ultrasound?
 No choice if they want to end the pregnancy. All a pretext to make a woman’s choice with their bodies more difficult. Regardless wether is the law in the land. The believe that somewhere in someones’ bible most  say no abortions. I’m looking where it says that but still I can’t find it.    adamfoxie*



This week, a Virginia state House committee overwhelmingly approved a bill requiring women to receive an ultrasound before they can have an abortion. Because the majority of abortions happen in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, many women would have to undergo an invasive procedure “in which a probe is inserted into the vagina, and then moved around until an ultrasound image is produced,” as Dahlia Lithwick explained last week.
CNN contributor and Andrew Breitbart blogger Dana Loesch, however, sees no problem with a law that effectively legalizes state-sponsored rape, saying the procedure is no different than penetration that occurred during consensual intercourse that “resulted in the pregnancy,” as Little Green Footballs reported:
LOESCH: That’s the big thing that progressives are trying to say, that it’s rape and so on and so forth. [...] There were individuals saying, “Oh what about the Virginia rape? The rapes that, the forced rapes of women who are pregnant?” What? Wait a minute, they had no problem having similar to a trans-vaginal procedure when they engaged in the act that resulted in their pregnancy.
