It's awesome to see someone as high profile as Trudeau unambiguously calling this bullshit what it is. Well done, sir.

Trudeau has usually been pretty spot-on about the bullshit of politics. Which does indeed make him kind of awesome.

That's the magic of Doonesbury. He does this a lot.

[mercaque]

Well, yes. But I've been so disappointed by some of the "brogressive" response to the birth control/ultrasound issues that I don't take Trudeau's stance for granted.

I haven't read it yet, though, so I don't know what the previous commenter means by "entertaining" yet.

graphic language and images inappropriate for a comics page huh? Hmm. Now I gotta see this.

Having read them before? Really tame, by normal people standards.

Yeah, I was just reading about the "Streisand effect" this morning in an unrelated matter.

Texas’s HB-15 [bill] isn’t hard to explain: The bill says that in order for a woman to obtain a perfectly legal medical procedure, she is first compelled by law to endure a vaginal probe with a hard, plastic 10-inch wand. The World Health Organization defines rape as “physically forced or otherwise coerced penetration - even if slight - of the vulva or anus, using a penis, other body parts or an object.” You tell me the difference.

A+

I am disgusted by this bill, but bravo on that comment.

'course many papers moved Doonesbury to the op-ed page when he had the tour of Reagan's brain, complete with cobwebs.
