Wisconsin Republicans: Forcing Women To Undergo Transvaginal Ultrasounds Is Our 'Priority'
At the Wisconsin Right to Life Legislative Conference this week, the states top Republican lawmakers assured attendees that they will do everything in their power to enact a forced ultrasound bill, which would mandate an invasive transvaginal probe for some women seeking first-trimester abortions. This bill is a priority, Wisconsin Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R) said. It is long overdue.
Wisconsin fans of small government go big when it comes to the uterus
There's some discussion that Republicans will bring this up in the house in a week or two.
Assembly Assistant Minority Leader Sandy Pasch (D-Shorewood), a nurse, says these are not the issues that should top the legislative agenda. "Especially when Wisconsin remains 44th in the nation in job growth, 45th in wage growth and dead last in short-term job growth, it is stunning how Wisconsin Republicans are more interested in blocking access to health care services that women need than focusing on the real issues facing women and Wisconsin families."
Wisconsin Republicans ready slew of abortion bills
Jobs - no
Education - no
Deficit - no
Wars - maybe
Immigration - no
Sticking it to women - YES! YES! YES!
That's messed up.
I couldn't make this this up. It would never occur to me.
