Indiana Bill Would Force Women To Undergo Two Transvaginal Probes To Take A Pill

Feb 21, 2013 19:44

A medication abortion pill, officially known as RU-486, is the earliest available abortion option for a woman. A patient could be as little as one week pregnant and take the pill to terminate. But despite the incredibly early stage at which the pill is administered, a new bill proposed in the Indiana State Senate would require women to undergo a ( Read more... )

Wow. I am tired of this shit. I am tired of people trying to make it harder and harder to get a legally allowable abortion (not even that in this case!) by forcing women to jump through all these hoops. The pill works better the faster you can take it-but now you'd have to stop and go find a doctor that could see you and perform a transvaginal ultrasound, get them to sign off on it, then go back to the pharmacy (and pray they don't refuse to dispense it to you), and hope you get it in time.

I don't even begin to understand how they can legally force a woman to submit to even ONE of these, let alone to force them to submit to one after they've had it done. This is blackmail, pure and simple.

Edit because words. Also, fuck you, male politicians. Stop denying there is a war on women, because RIGHT HERE. HERE IT IS. HERE IS PROOF YOU HATE WOMEN AND WANT TO SUBJUGATE US INTO NOTHING MORE THAN BROODMARES.

I thought they didn't use pharmacies for RU-486. I thought the clinic dispensed them personally, and sat around for the person getting the abortion to swallow the first pill, to prevent it being smuggled out and given to someone else.

I can't imagine what a nightmare getting RU-486 from a pharmacy would be. I also can't imagine the people who run the clinics trusting any random pharmacist to hand the pills over without fuss.

This is for RU-486, which is a pill that induces miscarriage/abortion. Not Plan B.

Yeah, and it would sure be nice if people would stop confusing the two, wouldn't it?

And they pretend this isn't about punishing people.

poopanna February 22 2013, 17:23:04 UTC

I don't know if I'm disgusted or just sad.

This bullshit is getting so fucking old.

moonshaz February 23 2013, 06:51:08 UTC

Disgusted OR sad? I vote for BOTH. In quadruplicate.

miriamele February 22 2013, 17:24:14 UTC

This whole thing just makes me sick to my stomach.

This shit is absurd.

I would hope that this kind of crap would go away as the old white male politicians die off, but then I look at the new line of asshole young white malepoliticians and I wonder if it will ever end!

Yeah. I look at some of the white males that I went to grad school with and I'm not optimistic.

The saddest part is the number of bills of this type that are written/introduced/co-sponsored by women.

I barely (like-one millionth of a percentage of understanding) get the white male "destroying the fruit of mah loins!" argument, but a woman insisting that another woman carry a child to term against the pregnant woman's wishes? NO-just...NO.

I think you're underestimating the value to said women of proving they're not one of 'Those' women. :(
