Virginia women protest "state mandated rape"

[Chris]

RICHMOND, Va. — Hundreds of women have locked arms and stood mute outside the Virginia State Capitol to protest a wave of anti-abortion legislation coursing through the 2012 General Assembly.

Capitol and state police officers, there to ensure order, estimated the crowd to be more than 1,000 people — mostly women. The crowd formed a human cordon through which legislators walked before Monday’s floor sessions of the Republican-controlled legislature.

The group was protesting bills that would cut off state aid to poor women seeking abortions, define embryos as humans and criminalize their destruction, and require “transvaginal” ultrasounds of women seeking abortions. In the procedure, a wand-like device is inserted and used to send out sound waves.

None of the protesters carried posters. Few spoke, even when spoken to. Richmond resident Molly Vick wore a shirt that read, “Say no to state mandated rape.”

They should require that Republicans State Senators get an anal probe in order to get Viagra.

It's cheaper than having to pay for all the unwanted children who become criminals.

They need to get together a panel of men to decide just what constitutes "rape".

Carry on, GOP. After all, women only make up half of the electorate.

Freebees as in tax payer funded.

It is one thing if it truly saves a life, Quite another paying for irresponsibility.

No, you cannot anal probe them with your dick. general understanding is that it simply isn't large enough.

This mentality of freebees now has the US birth rate at 50% to single parents as just reported by the NY Times.

Can you see the big picture or not?
