Ralph Reed wants to force some people to pay for health care they don't want or need

Ralph Reed Has No Problem With States Forcing Women To Have Transvaginal Ultrasounds

So Teavangelical lowlife, Ralph Reed, graced the set of Meet The Press today to discuss, among other things, one of the most popular topics around the water cooler: abortion. He was joined by fellow Teavangelical, former senator Jim DeMint, and marriage destroyer extraordinaire, Rachel Maddow on the panel.

DeMint said that the anti-abortion bills he supports, such as those that mandate transvaginal ultrasounds are just fine and dandy with the womenfolk because he figures that they would want an "informed choice". Ms. Maddow kindly pointed out to the former senator that the words "mandate" and "choice" don't exactly get along. It was at this point that Reed stepped in to assist DeMint, and this exchange followed:

Bitches about (can we say Bitches? Without meta here I don't have my word list. I know complains is an equivalent but is not always forceful in conveying an emotion, which is why some authors in the US are allowed to us it. At any rate...) obama care and people being forced to make choices they don't want and then this?

Suck it reed.
