Virginia GOP Legalizes Sodomy

On Tuesday night Show Rachel Maddow brought this story to us about the Republican controlled State House and Senate passing a bill which would require doctors to perform a transvaginal ultrasound on any woman seeking an abortion without her approval.  That means that doctors will be allowed to ram an object into a woman’s vagina without her permission legally.  How ignorant is that and why was it allowed to even get this far? Up until she expanded her coverage with a segment in tonight’s show, this seemed too farfetched to believe.  I could not believe that veterans like I was prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice so elected officials could take away freedoms earned on the battlefield.  But what truly makes my blood boil is that it seems the voters of Virginia is just sitting by and allowing this to happen.  It makes me quite sad that Virginia voters care so little for the blood, sweat and tears that veterans spilled so they could have the freedom of choice, that they can offer advice when it comes to things that do not affect them but when it comes to growing a spine and standing up for their rights, no one is home. 

Tonight Rachel interviewed Virginia State Delegate David Englin who attempted to add an amendment to that bill which would require written consent of the woman before the procedure could be performed.  What makes this laughable is not that it failed so badly according to Ms. Maddow but the fact that the only opposition to this bill that they were able to muster was a weak demand of approval before the commencement procedure.  This procedure is a direct violation of a woman’s person and in other phases would be considered sodomy or rape.  The Virginia State Government is now telling doctors that they can legally sodomize women and I still cannot hear any voices of opposition.  This bill should have never made it to paper at all.

I blame those who voted these individuals into office and those who seem afraid to galvanize, recall or demand better from their elected officials.  I blame the elected officials who seem to be stuck on stupid hiding behind an unknown group or being for sale to the highest bidder.  I blame religious organizations like the Catholic Bishops who claim religious freedom for themselves but not for the women of Virginia.  But I reserve much blame for those who decided to stay home during the mid-term elections.   Candidates of the 2010 midterms ran on a job creation platform but like those in Washington have done more to strip jobs that create them.  I do not know when enough will be enough for those voters in those states that are determined to take us back to the stone ages but until it does happen, try just slapping the next veterans you see instead of proving yourself worthy of the freedoms that many of our friends died to give you.  It would surely hurt less.
