As I said earlier, only 31% of Virginians support this travesty of a cruel and unnecessary law - but of course, that's never stopped the nutters before, has it?

Honestly, it doesn't matter to me. It's Virginia's deal. Vote the bastards out if you don't like it.

Having your tubes tied is not necessary when the woman can use contraception, and if it fails, have an abortion.

Then use your state's political process to obtain justice; if that fails, then leave the state.

Wrong. Abortion is not used as contraception. EVER. Contraception prevents a pregnancy. Abortion doesn't prevent a pregnancy, it ends one.

I see this was missed....

The new bill, which requires women to receive an external, transabdominal ultrasound rather than a more invasive transvaginal ultrasound, passed by a vote of 65-32.
