stupid politicians...

Yeah, so in a different part of my life I was a political activist.  I was a delegate to a state convention, and an invited guest to a presidential inauguration.  I'm not bragging, just pointing out that I was young, motivated and involved.

Fast forward a bit.  I saw what a dirty nasty business politics are, formulated opinions on what the Constitution was supposed to be, saw how it's abused by career politicians (from both parties), and gave up on the whole thing.

Anyway, I live in Virginia and saw this: http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0212/73401.html.  Look, I'll be honest and say I am firmly pro-choice.  That doesn't mean "pro-abortion" before anyone (if anyone else even reads this), it means I believe that people have the right to CHOOSE for themselves.  Fortunately I will never have to make that choice or live with it's consequences, but I support their right to choose.  Either way, to force women to have a trans-vaginal ultrasound with something that looks like a giant dildo is wrong on so many levels that I can't begin to comprehend it.  Yes, it involves someone inserting a "wand" into the woman.

It looks like this:

Not cool.

So a little while later I see this story on cnn: http://www.cnn.com/video/?hpt=hp_t3#/video/us/2012/03/13/tsr-sylvester-ohio-viagra-billl.cnn and now some member of Ohio's legislature is going to stick it to men over as "payback" because some idiot Ohio State Senator is trying to pass a law banning abortion once a heartbeat is detected (about 6 weeks).

Look political dimwits, we have real problems in the US, and you're going to waste valuable time and money banning viagra and abortions?  Perhaps your parents should have had one...
