Not right now.I've had my fill of crazy for a while.Oh yeah, someone would have to be crazy to think Obama has tried to severely US oil production.This is what goes on in the legislature in Virginia?State Del. David Albo (R-Fairfax Station) was addressing the House of Delegates......Oh my gosh, he made a joke via a personal anecdote? How awful!Hey moonbat, even his Democrat opponent thought it was funny.This childish buffoon, could not even bring himself to say the word vagina, even though if he had his way, women in Virginia would be forced to have their vaginas penetrated with a probe against their will.Which increasingly looks like a falsehood. The transvaginal procedure is already required by the abortionists for all abortions, at least those done by Planned Parenthood, which performs most abortions.Rape, They CriedAbout the proposed ultrasound legislation in Virginia, a most pernicious lie.By Kathryn Jean Lopez it was a brilliant strategy that Planned Parenthood and friends used to defeat a bill in Virginia that would have required pre-abortion ultrasounds: Get as many people as possible to repeat the word "transvaginal" in news and commentary, in order to accomplish two things: defeat the legislation at hand and make your opposition look like a freak show....In recent days (weeks and years, too), media coverage of just about all things regarding women have taken on new frenzied proportions. George Orwell would be impressed even Saturday Night Live got into the messaging.Go ahead and read the bill that caused the "rape" cries. The word "transvaginal" never appears in it.The bill was an update on Virginia's informed-consent law, and didn't require a particular kind of ultrasound, but mandated that the "standard medical practice in the community" for an ultrasound be followed. So doctors on site, not the governor or the house of delegates or the legendary exorcist Rick Santorum, would be making the calls about exactly what kind of ultrasound would be best for a particular woman. Planned Parenthood clinics already do ultrasounds (it helps with the pricing of abortions, among other things). The law wasn't meant to do anything but make sure no women fell through the cracks....critics of the bill simply, as a matter of principle, don't want anyone to be reminded what exactly is done in an abortion clinic. No one went into a demonizing overdrive because of ultrasound per se; they're already routinely done. The real kick was that women would be offered the chance to look at the ultrasound. If they did, they would see the beating of a tiny human heart. And that's a threat to the abortion industry. A glimpse of this fight shows that, while these critics of the bill talk about women's health, they don't really have the interests of either patient in mind.http://www.nationalr...hryn-jean-lopez
