I went to the doctor today
My doctor is a wonderful woman who is very progressive and provides care for the uninsured. I really admire her. We often talk politics.
So today I asked her to tell me about transvaginal sonograms. She went into a long detailed explanation about how most docs and moms really liked them better because they could see more of the baby. And her pregnant daughter had just had one and it was so awesome.
So I finally stopped her and said "well what do you think about the new law in Virginia that requires women to have a transvaginal sonogram before they can have an abortion?"
My doctor had her back turned to me and was writing on my chart when I asked her this. She stopped, turned around, looked at me and asked me to tell her that again.
Then she said that was positively one of the most disgusting things she had ever heard. And she said: "Those bastards!! This really is a war on women."

How they can go on fighting about us (like we aren't even in the room!) when our lives are none of their business? It's a rhetorical question, I know. As to why your doctor didn't know...she probably doesn't spend as much time on DU as we do. 
How you're going to organize Republican women to start it...you have your work cut out for you. Most of the Republican women I know, and I know very few but they are all liberal for Republicans, are just as appalled at this turn of events as we are. I'm thinking that they are trying to lose this election. They can't win without women's votes. 
But then again, who knows what lengths these 'people' would go to to ensure compliance.
Just sickening. 
Edit: insure-- ensure.
