[quote=Anonymous]My issue with the VA law is not just the law itself, which in my mind serves no other purpose than to humiliate a woman who is seeking an abortion, but its place in the continued war against women's control over their own bodies. I understand that there are a lot of people who believe that "life" begins at conception and that a lot of those people are angry that most laws agree that it is a woman's right to choose whether she wants to continue a pregnancy, but these tactics are underhanded. They're not going to try to ban abortion outright, because they know they would lose, so instead, they're just going to try to make it as humiliating to get one as possible. You must have a vaginal ultrasound, and you also  have to view the image. The ultrasound is not deemed complete until an image has been produced and a heartbeat as been heard and witnessed.

It's not enough that a woman seeking an abortion often has to cross a picket line of protesters who use either guilt or intimidation to try to "let her know she has other options". Once she gets inside, she has NO CHOICE buy to submit to this procedure. They talk about their wonderful family values and opine about how no one is thinking about the child, all while going out of their way to humiliate a woman in a difficult situation. Many posters on this board will say "Oh well, you don't care about compassion when it comes to YOUR UNBORN CHILD" but whether you want to accept it or not, we are both making a choice. You choose to care more about an unborn child than the woman carrying that child. I personally choose the woman.

Oh and PP saying this isn't rape? You're not the only rape victim on this board, and you certainly do not speak for me. [/quote]
