Virginia monologues

I stole that heading from Chris Hayes of The Nation and MSNBC.  It made me laugh.

The heading refers to Virginia's almost passed legislation requiring a woman to get an internal probe called a transvaginal sonogram before getting an abortion.  Ridiculous!  Horrendous!  A violation of privacy times 1,000!!

Thank goodness SNL brought Amy Poehler back to do the Really!? sketch.  It worked, well that and the thousands who either showed up at the Virginia Capitol to protest or called and emailed messages of disgust to their legislators and the governor.  The entire nation erupted with alarm.  Support quickly disappeared for Virginia's vagina probe legislation. 

Thank goodness.  In this day and age, what kind of monster government would put a woman through that? 

Texas government?  We already got that here in Texas?  

Oh crap.

Want to understand why in Texas and not Virginia, read below:
