Seriously, you have NO IDEA what you’re talking about. NONE.

I’m glad you cleared that up for me. I wouldn’t want to have to figure out my emotions on my own – after all, I’m just a girl.

Here she is, for example, doing the same kind of thing in 2008, prior to the Olympics, in order to bring up the issue of what happens when China’s traditional preference for boys over girls collides with the one child per family policy.

Also, the TV probe is significantly narrower than a typical speculum.   Not having direct experience, I’d hazard to guess it’s also much less unpleasant than the abortion itself.

I’m against government mandates as much as anyone, and the spirit of these laws is way, way off base,  but the ‘rape’ thing is a tad overblown for a procedure which is in real world practice thrown around like a fancy stethoscope.

The overarching contempt of women and denial of our humanity is palpable in laws like this.

I’d love to see a list of conditions that mimic pregnancy, including producing false positive test results, that are common enough to justify performing this procedure on every woman seeking an abortion. But again, I’m thinking crickets. Even ectopic pregnancy, probably your best bet, occurs in no more than 2% of all pregnancies, and would frequently be symptomatic by the time a woman sought an abortion. That might be an indication for the ultrasound, but a routine presentation would offer no such cause.

I’ve actually had a thoroughly unpleasant transvaginal ultrasound to confirm an ectopic pregnancy. Have you? Is that the root of your confident defense of this procedure? Because otherwise, when we blow such things out of frame without regard to the reality involved, we hurt our credibility.

Anyway, you’re missing the “BOOMs,” which is why your versions weren’t funny.

And last I heard she was dating one of the writers ( ** citation needed ** )

edit: that would be Rich Blomquist.

This woman is way funnier and cleverer than some of you.

Fixed that for you.

That doesn’t excuse the fact that the comedy bit wasn’t funny.  The crowd’s lack of laughter demonstrates it.  

Just because your issue is right it doesn’t mean that your comedy will be funny.  

Let’s keep up the pressure on the GOP to knock off the attacks on the uterus.  But let’s stop pretending that all protections of the uterus are humorous.

IUD.   HAHAHAHAH.  

No, it doesn’t work like that.  

Triphasic Hormone Therapy.   BAHAHAHAHAHAH.  That is so funny.

Again, it doesn’t work like that.  

I totally support the issue, but it does not make the messenger or the message funny.
