Who is the brave lad? Rep. Joel Johnson of Michigan. You know, the one who is trying to make ultrasounds mandatory before all abortions, even though said ultrasounds are not medically necessary. Yeah, that guy. Hes come out and said why he thinks this type of thing is so very important:
We have consumer protection laws for people who are getting loans, or buying life insurance. It requires that things get explained to them and in my opinion this is another situation where people arent making a decision they wont be happy with down the road.
Johnson goes on to say that the ultrasound should be done before the woman takes any medication to make sure she is mentally capable of making this medical decision.

(154,021 posts)Imagine the screams if we ladies said men can't make any reproductive decisions since they can only think with one head, the small one.
I used the language on purpose, because that is exactly what this man is talking about this. Ladies can't think due to vaginas.
retrograde to say lightly.

(11,925 posts)That bullshit about eve's curse, woman are inferiors,because of 'original sin' so they must submit to men because gawd had men write it in the bibble, mixed with a bit of bullshit about women being 'hysterical' as in a woman's uterus wanders around inside her body making her crazy.
Patriarchal men like this creep need to learn their place,and it's equal to women,even though his beliefs make him such an asshole.

(8,339 posts)Well, I think that men who want enhancement drugs should have a anal ultrasound, or perhaps something shoved up their penis to make sure they are "mentally capable" of making that medical decision.
After all, Dickhead Johnson, what's good for the goose ...

(153,169 posts)what does the medical establishment think of having to perform a procedure they don't recommend and the patient does not want? That's GOP "small government" for ya.
