"Having looked at the current proposal, I believe there is no need to direct by statute that further invasive ultrasound procedures be done. Mandating an invasive procedure in order to give informed consent is not a proper role for the state. No person should be directed to undergo an invasive procedure by the state, without their consent, as a precondition to another medical procedure."
-- Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, backing slowly away from the hissing cobra that is the Virginia state legislature's proposal that would force a woman to undergo an invasive vaginal ultrasound if she wants an abortion
Remember that McDonnell was all gung-ho on the idea just a few days ago -- before the wrath of God descended on him from everywhere.
See? These idiots can be beaten back. All you have to do is punch hard enough.
