Oh the irony....

Sharia law HAS come to America, and it's been brought to us by the republicans.
We can quibble all day as to whether the NSA collecting numbers is 'destroying' our civil liberties, but here is an actual action by REPUBLICANS that in fact destroys our civil liberties. Here is real life, boots on the ground legislation that IS '1984'.

Alan, perhaps the reason there has been an up-tick in the purchase of that book is because the republicans are using it as a guide. They should add 'The Handmaids Tale' to their reading list.

If Wisconsin is successful in this, and there is no indication they won't be, more republican controlled states will push this type of thing through.
Life under Tea Party Taliban rule....hows that working for ya Wisconsin?

Damned Gosh Darned Republicans. Standing up for the 2nd Amendment and suggesting local legislation to make sure people know that there may be a living baby rather than a simple clump of cells prior to destroying it.

You're right! The War on Wimmenses Women continues unabated.

Oh yes, guerilla tactics all wrapped up in "life".

My friends in WI are all pretty horrified by both. I've had a vaginal ultrasound. It was miserable, and I was there voluntarily. Women's reproductive freedoms are definitely under assault, in many places.

Alan, I would appreciate you not choosing condescending language.

peggy, you made me laugh with the title of this thread.

The last time this came up during the last state doing the same thing, didn't we conclude that Planned Parenthood does transvaginal ultrasounds before abortions? This was a quote from their rep a little more than a year ago:

That’s just the medical standard,” said Adrienne Schreiber, an official at Planned Parenthood’s Washington, D.C., regional office. “To confirm the gestational age of the pregnancy, before any procedure is done, you do an ultrasound.”

She goes on to say later that if the woman is uncomfortable with the transvaginal ultrasound, she's going to be less than delighted with the actual abortion procedure which is even MORE invasive and "miserable."

LOL, it's a condescending thread (not that there's anything terribly wrong with that) designed not to provoke discussion, but rather to inflame emotions. Looks like it worked.

By the way, there is a difference between condescension and sarcasm. Sarcasm is usually obvious to everyone while condescension is oftentimes in the eyes of the beholder.

Alan, I am practicing the respect I hope for in all exchanges on this forum. Mocking me & laughing at my request is a huge deterrent to me to engaging with you. If we were in person, perhaps you would have been able to see my affect, which was disappointment at the language you chose. Is it possible for all of us to frame this conversation in adult language?

The medical standard doesn't currently include requiring the ultrasound technician to provide a detailed description of everything they see in detail as they are doing the procedure.

It does open some interesting doors - with government mandated medical procedures on the books, what others could be mandated?

Redfox, I don't want to hurt your feelings by disagreeing with you, but do you honestly believe that you didn't single me out because of my use of the term "War on Wimmenses", while deliberately ignoring "Republican Sharia Law" & "Tea Party Taliban"? If you are honestly practicing respect, you would have been disappointed in both so please forgive me for seeing this as nothing more than an attempt to silence those you may perceive to be ideological rivals.

Often, there is a place for irreverance and friendly sarcasm, especially in threads such as this. I'm sorry you don't agree.

I'm also sorry to be forced to respond to this sort of thing publicly. My sincerest apologies to our membership.
