I have already sent him two notes today, and I intend to keep it up. There's a chance he may be reconsidering...

[b]Just sent a thank you and letter of appreciation[/b][/quote]

PP, whoever you are, you are a sick, degraded human being. This is what you wrote to thank McDonnell for?

In the words of Delegate David Englin: “This bill will require many women in Virginia to undergo vaginal penetration with an ultrasound probe against their consent in order to exercise their constitutional right to an abortion, even for nonsurgical, noninvasive, pharmaceutical abortions. This kind of government intrusion shocks the conscience and demonstrates the disturbing lengths Republican legislators will go to prevent women from controlling their own reproductive destiny.”

Englin proposed the [b]failed amendment that would have required women to give their consent[/b] before the invasive procedure.

Let me repeat that: there was a proposed amendment to this bill that would have required a woman being forced to undergo this non-medically-indicated procedure to give her consent before having a probe inserted into her vagina, AND IT WAS DEFEATED.

Be as opposed to abortion as you want, but please, for the love of god, THINK THINGS THROUGH before blindly agreeing with them. The fact that people elected into positions of power think that this is okay is fucking terrifying.[/quote]
If you want to have an intelligent conversation about the bill, amendments, votes, etc., I suggest you start such a thread.  This one can't possibly morph into something constructive, particularly in view of the inarticulate original post and the overly wrought and uninformed responses.  Or, maybe this is a topic that simply cannot be discussed rationally on an anonymous board.  [/quote]
