The Rude Pundit - The Oklahoma Legislature Will Look Inside Your Daughter's Vagina ...
(Part of the "Your State Sucks, Too" Series)

The brutal assault on women’s rights continues in states where you’d expect there to be a brutal assault on women’s rights. This week’s yahoos are the members of the Oklahoma legislature who voted by a veto-proof majority to require pregnant women who want an abortion to get a vaginal-probe ultrasound in order to show them the fetus. There is no exception for victims of rape or incest.

In other words, if you are a woman who wants a perfectly legal medical procedure in Oklahoma, you must submit to the forced insertion of an implement into you, even though that act carries medical risks (you know, perforation, infection, that kind of stuff) and serves no actual medical purpose. It's just to be total dicks about abortion.

In otherer words, the Oklahoma legislature wants to sodomize pregnant women.

At this point, anti-choicers have actually become cartoon villains, twirling their mustaches and licking their lips at the possibility of degrading women more. Don't believe it? Then howzabout some House Bill 2656, which says that if some bag of fuck prevents a woman carrying a fetus with severe disabilities from having an abortion, that woman cannot sue said bag of fuck. The legislature declared this an "emergency" situation. Or howzabout the bill that says clinics must post a sign that says no forced abortions? That doesn't seem unreasonable, if the legislature hadn't just passed that other bill that, you know, forces a medical procedure on women.

We get it. Oklahoma conservatives hate them some abortion. So much so that it wants to publicly shame women by forcing them to provide "their marital status, education level, method of abortion, reason for abortion, means of payment and previous experiences with abortion or miscarriage" to an online database anyone can access. But don't worry. You don't need to give your name.

Is there some kind of contest going on between Nebraska and Oklahoma to see who can fuck up women's lives more? Or are they just filled with assholes cut from the same wretched cloth?

1. It's all about degrading and humiliating women. Force them into an
unnecessary procedure to make them lose their dignity and feel guilt, and maybe they'll decide to birth that baby after all.

10. Isn't that a misuse of the word sodomize?
Sodomy is:: anal or oral copulation with a member of the same or opposite sex; also : copulation with an animal

15. Yes, I suppose it is
Oklahoma wants to rape pregnant women. I think that might be more accurate.

16. Thanks.
I wondered if it was just me. It's a nasty piece of legislation that won't stand up in court. They are going to have their asses handed to them by a judge or jury.

20. Link ...

... in case you want to read more on it.

"OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry vetoed two abortion bills Friday that he said are an unconstitutional attempt by the Legislature to insert government into the private lives and decisions of citizens."

21. Bless you.
I'm so glad to see sanity prevailed. As if women who are contemplating abortion don't have enough to deal with some dumbass politician tries to make things worse.

5. They should force men who want a vasectomy to have their nutsack scoped.
And then force you to look at the thing that you're telling the doctor to cut.

But first, they need to ask you how many times you've jacked off, and to what, so they can post the results on the internet.

6. 2x daily. To fantasies based (very) loosely on past experiences.

Why did you want to know?

:evilgrin:


The scoping thing doesn't sound like much fun, however.

:scared:


Actually, given the anti-abortion crowd's anti-birth control stance, I imagine they oppose vasectomies as well. So they would probably love your proposal.

8. Gee you wanna bet it was either all or mostly MEN voting?
Time to remove MEN from the abortion debate. They have no point of reference and no understanding of what it's like to be able to get pregnant.

9. Hmmm. They don't like immigration, so bringing those El Salvadoran forensic vagina inspectors in
will pose a problem.

Still, here's a glimpse into a future when control freaks, censors, anti-sex prudes and jesus-happy ninnies control our country:

11. I don't think anyone could pay me enough to live
in Oklahoma.

This law is an outrage.

12. For some people, it just isn't enough to rape a woman once. Sick fucks.

I hope the anti-woman crowd knows I hate them just as much as they hate me...except I wouldn't force legal assault and battery on them in the guise of a medical procedure. I wouldn't shoot them or bomb them. I wouldn't create laws just to penalize them for being born an asshole. So maybe I don't hate them as much...
