Alabama's anti-abortion "ultrasound" legislation rapes women like Virginia's did
http://j.mp/x9K7az (Huffington)
"The Alabama Senate is slated to start debating the controversial
legislation as early as Tuesday after the bill passed the health
committee last week. The bill -- similar to one just amended in the
Virginia legislature -- requires women to undergo an ultrasound prior
to receiving an abortion. It says either an external or transvaginal
ultrasound would need to be performed, and that women would not have a
decision as to which procedure would be used. Transvaginal ultrasounds
are needed to detect an embryo in the earliest weeks of pregnancy.
...
The proposal includes allowing the mother, the father of a fetus and
the grandparents to sue in the event an ultrasound is not done before
an abortion."

What's next? Legislation declaring women to be slaves? And how did the
*"grandparents"* of a fetus get into this? Insanity.
