Virginia lawmaker tries to attach rectal exam provision to anti-abortion bill - Polidicks

[QUOTE=AnalAnnihilator;34472055]A rectal exam seems a bit over the top, but I can see a cardiac stress test being completely valid.[/QUOTE] the point is, it's all over the top. if a woman wants an abortion it's her choice, she shouldn't be forced to have an ultrasound in an attempt to change her mind. if a man wants to medicate erectile dysfunction so he can fuck that's his choice and he shouldn't have to have any medical exams or whatever.

HEY HEY HEY GUYS GUYS! She's trying to prove a fucking point, she doesn't really want to give you a rectal exam.

Well, in the case of a cardiac stress test it might actually be a good thing. However, I agree and realize that a rectal exam is just a flamboyant display of her voicing her opinion.

[QUOTE=CommunistCookie;34472095]HEY HEY HEY GUYS GUYS! She's trying to prove a fucking point, she doesn't really want to give you a rectal exam.[/QUOTE] Yeah if you're a politician you're meant to be responsible with bill proposals, rather than just fucking around with the law because of your own personal beliefs.

I'm okay with her fucking about if it's in opposition to something that is unbelievably fucking stupid. It's all about perspective.

[QUOTE=Pace.;34472182]Yeah if you're a politician you're meant to be responsible with bill proposals, rather than just fucking around with the law because of your own personal beliefs.[/QUOTE] i think she was being responsible. if she managed to get this attached to the original bill i think it would ensure the awful original bill would not be passed. i mean, their senate is mostly republican and i dont think any republican would vote in favour of something that would make it harder to get viagra. ahahaahaha

Take the entire bill and shove it up their rectums, than examine it.

Well the government already fucks us in the ass anyways!

[QUOTE=Pace.;34471667]Both are abuses of power. But she should have voted against it instead of abusing her position to make an immature statement.[/QUOTE] Both are bad so both are equally bad! Is there a word for this fallacy

[QUOTE=Zeke129;34472890]Both are bad so both are equally bad! Is there a word for this fallacy[/QUOTE] False equivalence?

[QUOTE=Zeke129;34472890]Both are bad so both are equally bad! Is there a word for this fallacy[/QUOTE] Not sure, but I've heard it a few times now and it certainly [I]sounds[/I] like nonsense. [editline]30th January 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=SomeRandomGuy16;34472942]False equivalence?[/QUOTE] Sort of, but in a different sense. In a way it's like saying "This box has something in it, and that box has something in it, therefore both boxes must have the same amount of that thing in them." Or rather, saying that 'since both things are bad [I]on some level,[/I] then they must be [I]equally bad.[/I]'

but uh a rectal exam is a good and necessary procedure

[QUOTE=thisispain;34474205]but uh a rectal exam is a good and necessary procedure[/QUOTE] not really necessary when buying viagra though

oh i'm sorry are you the medical expert?? no you aren't.

[QUOTE=thisispain;34474332]oh i'm sorry are you the medical expert?? no you aren't.[/QUOTE] why yes I am here let me pull my medical expert license out of my ass so I can show you

[QUOTE=Lambeth;34474404]why yes I am here let me pull my medical expert license out of my ass so I can show you[/QUOTE] see that's not supposed to be there. if you took viagra that whole area was gonna collapse due to the pressure.

If this passes, I will sacrifice my anus for this. -cough- not saying I have erectile disfunction..

[QUOTE=Lachz0r;34470425]god before criticizing her for making a joke of this bill read what the fucking thing is. forcing women to have a ultrasound and making them look at the picture before they can have an abortion? they should make a law that anyone that tries to pass this stupid anti-abortion shit gets a rectal exam too just to make sure it's not a stick up their ass causing them to be such pricks.[/QUOTE]Essentially a law that forces a mainstream ethical compass on everyone else. Why are the Americans so fucked? So much weird shit pulled over there every day.

In a twist on the classic "Not in my backyard" comes "Not in my ass!" Although I suppose the original still works. Unneeded medical procedures on women? Fine. On men? Screw that!

[QUOTE=Bomimo;34474689]Essentially a law that forces a mainstream ethical compass on everyone else. Why are the Americans so fucked? So much weird shit pulled over there every day.[/QUOTE] well i mean, it's just these psycho crazy old men that took over the republican party. and due to the 2 party system and the voting loyalty that's like, passed down through families it causes them to keep having power

Reading the article is something all of you should try some day.

Isn't making women get an ultrasound and asking them to listen to the heart beat or look at the image basically a form of emotional coercion, if not bordering on blackmail? How can it even be legal to suggest such a law?

I think anyone we disagree with in a discussion should have a pat down, a brain scan, and a colonoscopy, for they very well may be trying to influence you with their genetalia.
