*blank stare*
This is just getting out of hand:
Personally I’d like to make a law that mandates a woman watch an abortion being performed prior to having a “surgical procedure”. If it’s not a life it shouldn’t matter, if it doesn’t harm a woman then she shouldn’t care, and don’t we want more transparency and education in the medical profession anyway? We demand it everywhere else.
Until the dead child can tell me that she/he does not feel any pain – I have no intentions of clearing the conscience of the living – I will be voting YES.”
So now we’re traumatizing women just for shits and giggles? Is that it? These people want every woman to be as traumatized as Carolyn Jones was when Texas forced her to undergo an unnecessary ultrasound? What is wrong with these people?
By the way, the quotes de sarcasm are a nice touch, Terri.
I can’t even.

All women who want breast enhancements (something every good GOP woman should do to please her man) should definitely watch one being performed first.
I’ve seen them and they’re really icky and gory.
Why not? Don’t waste the medical facilities on women unwilling to witness a little “surgical procedure.”
Having witnessed an abortion, there is very little to “see.” They put the speculum in. They dilate the cervix. They vacuum and scrape the uterus and a bit of blood gets vacuumed up by the medical equipment, but you see little outside the body except KY jelly. Childbirth is *far* grosser and more traumatic. Obviously, this guy has watched some anti-abortion propaganda film and would like women to be forced to do the same.
*shakes head.*
We need to revive the ERA, folks. If we had it in the 70′s this wouldn’t be happening now.
I did not know this, Mary, but it makes sense. Thanks for bringing the real talk.
My cousin tried to watch the video of the knee replacement surgery she had to have. She couldn’t do it. So yes, if we are going to get on board the punitive laws for medical procedure train lets be fair and require that anyone who wants a medical procedure has to watch a video of it.
Maybe they will make an exemption for an emergency to save the life of the patient, except for abortions of course. In that case if the dying woman can’t watch the show she is out of luck.
Sorry. Having rage head.
Terri Proud is a woman and she is proposing this draconian crap!!???
First, I want to vote her off the island of the sisterhood.
Second, someone needs to do a D&C on her brain; it’s obviously been infected badly by Republicanism.
And third, WHEN WITH THIS SHIT STOP??????
Enough is ENOUGH!
Is this real life?
Well, I believe that you can’t be pro-life and still eat meat, or support the war (because you can’t believe killing animals and people in other countries is the right thing to do, but that killing babies isn’t). So, if you’re going with the rationale that everyone that chooses to have an abortion needs to watch one performed, then everyone who chooses to eat meat should watch a cow being slaughtered.
So, next time you want to get on your soapbox and preach about how wrong it is to kill, remember that your hands probably aren’t as clean as you think.
How is any of this crap constitutional?
Let’s make sure all women who want to give birth know that they will automatically become less sexually desirable to their mates, who will leave them for younger-tighter-hotter twat, and their kids will grow up to hate them and they will end up unloved in subpar nursing homes screaming for death. *
*Not meant to be a factual statement.
Think about this.
They, REPUBLICANS, don’t care if we are raped or die. Just was long as that baby is born.
Not only do they, REPUBLICANS, hate women, they do not care about our husbands or our living children or our families. They just don’t give a damn.
How about if everyone who wants to start a war has to watch real war footage, people dying, the resulting funerals? Hey that’s not such a bad idea! But Terri Proud is still an idiot!
How about if everyone who wants to start a war … has to go off and serve in an ongoing conflict first, for at least 6 months. watching war on video, is not experiencing the full effect. Trust me on this one.
How is it the evangenital Repubs don’t demand all men should be forced to watch an abortion video….the pre-emptive strike might prevent them from telling their prey “…if you loved me, you would f&%k me” which then prevents her from being an abandoned slut shamed single mom ….or a wife & kids abandoned by the male overlords.
