GOP SPONSORED RAPE [View all]

They want to stick a probe up a woman's vagina for the purpose of humiliation and control. This is sexual assault.

Also known as HOUSE BILL No. 4187.

If the people who represent us don't start calling it like it is, I'm going to be very upset. Fuck being polite. These people want to stick a probe up a woman to shame her!

I don't want to see any more of this bullshit:

This is an unnecessary and unwarranted intrusion into the health decisions of women,” a spokeswoman for Michigan’s House Democratic Leader Tim Greimel told TPM. “This is yet another example of the Republican obsession with overregulating people’s private lives.
NO. IT IS RAPE.

It does lay bare that the real motive is to make abortion providers continue to acquire more and more and more equipment before they’re even eligible to perform an abortion,” Crane told TPM. “They’re trying to make it harder for doctors to do their jobs.
NO. IT IS RAPE.

Enough is fucking enough. Do we have to wait for the witch trials before we get tough with these misogynists?
