Now because the majority of abortions are performed in the first trimester, if you’re going to get an ultrasound image, as the Virginia law requires, the law states, basically, that any woman seeking to have a legal procedure known as an abortion, whether she wants to or not, first lay back in a chair, spread her legs, (put her) feet in stirrups, and have an eight- to ten-inch wand put inside her — even if the woman in question is pregnant as the result of a rape.
I don’t really have a joke here. I just thought I’d tell you.

Shit like this is a huge deal. People need to realize that women are having their rights stripped away. I’m leaving. I am out of this country as soon as I can if things like this keep happening. Stop trying to control my body. Stop trying to control me and the choices I make in my life. AAGHGTHJRDGKSJNFPGINUDJKLSFCV makes me so mad.
