Talk about intrusive government. The Virginia legislature has passed a bill saying that women who want to get an abortion must first have a "transvaginal ultrasound." The ultrasound is medically unnecessary except for all but a few cases, which means that women have to get their bodies invaded for no good reason at all, except to humiliate them for having sex in the first place.
The idea is to get a picture of the fetus so it can be waved in the woman's face in order to deter her from getting an abortion, an approach which, incidentally, almost never results in the woman changing her mind about the abortion.
Why is it that the very people who rail against "big government" love, love, love the use of government power to shame and humiliate people for having sex?
Let's call it what it is: sadism. Worse, not only are these sadists in denial about their own perversion and cruelty, they actually think they're swell people doing the Lord's work! What is it about male-dominated heirarchies that generates the toxic mixture of self-righteous posturing and cruelty to women?
