Mike Pence - Rapist.

[annabanana]

Watching last night's Rachel. It looks like Pence is doubling down on the forced, invasive ultrasound. This time it's to be forced before AND after taking RU-486. That's right, two forced vaginal probes.

Indiana will be no place for women.

[mythology]

1. While I haven't yet listened to the Rachel Maddow Show podcast

but even if you are silly enough to think that one forced vaginal probing is a good idea, what the bloody hell is the second one for? I mean I can't imagine that they say aloud it's to make the women feel extra violated for having an abortion/using the morning after pill, but that seems like it's the underlying goal.

2. Holy shit that is sick

Someone ought to send that guy back to the 12th century where he belongs.

3. Were the gov't to start a eugenics program

Whatever gene makes Hoosier Peckerheads needs to be bred out of the pool early.

13. I don't live in and have never been to Indiana but I HATE these

generalized state based comments. Probably motivated because as a Texan, I've had my share. I'm sure there are many liberals in Indiana as there are here but sadly outnumbered. I know you are kidding but just want to ask mercy. Those of us in these right wing controlled places have enough problems without getting placed in a box with the rest of those loons. Peace.

18. This isn't a "generalized" comment

Indiana was a stronghold of the Klan, and is still disproportionately racist. I'd be the first to tell you that there a lot of good people there - as there are in Texas. But - as in Texas - there are a surplus of those "Moron and proud of it!" critters.

19. Read the comments in any article in an Indiana newspaper and see.

This is not generalized. Indiana is that closed thinking.

[Oilwellian]

20. There's nothing generalized about it

It WILL be a bad state for women to live. Please explain how that places liberals in a box when stating that fact. Thanks.

4. Let's legislate

anal probes of men who want to abuse the law to humiliate women.

[LAGC]

6. +1

Men should have no say in women's health care whatsoever, and should abstain from any votes involving stuff that's none of their business.

[efhmc]

14. Would love to see that passed.

[LeftInTX]

17. Naaa, they need catheter penal probes

[KharmaTrain]

5. No Surprise...

...for years he was the biggest asshole in the House (and that took a lot of doing). The people in Indiana knew what they were getting when they voted in this zealot...and sadly, they get what they voted for.

Fortunately Indiana women are welcome here in Illinois...a very Pro-Choice state.

7. I am so embarrassed.

and will be for the next four years.

[Fuddnik]

8. They should do a trans-anal ultrasound, with a jackhammer on this idiot.

Just to see if his brain is functioning at a primate level.

[ismnotwasm]

9. That's exactly right

Rapist is what he is, or at least accessory to rape.

[Demo_Chris]

10. Yep, that's what he is

[Myrina]

11. Indiana hasn't been a place for women, for a long time.

Or anyone with progressive ideals, for that matter.
I keep telling myself it's time to leave but don't know where I want to go.

[NYtoBush-Drop Dead]

12. State sanctioned rape.

Where is the outrage?

[Marrah_G]

15. There is NOTHING to be seen at that point

Even if there was it is still fucking sick.

You are right. It's just rape. State sanctioned rape for the purpose of shaming women.

[TwilightGardener]

16. Sick, punitive policy. Governor Pence really wants to be up in there, doesn't he?

[smirkymonkey]

21. How can this be possible?

It is so sick. I cannot believe this is even happening. He should be shot.
