I was very emo eariler.
Every once and a while I watch the Rachel Maddow show online to keep up with the world news that I don't watch and she finds the craziest bullshit stuff that mostly revolve around things that Republicans are getting away with in our country. I don't know if any one else watches her show but you really should, she's pretty awesome (as well as being one of the only lesbian TV broadcasters that I know).
I had no idea what a transvaginal ultrasound was and thought it was just another name for an ultrasound but after watching this clip of Maddow's show I realized that the law they just passed in Virgina makes it so that ...well, let's say a girl is raped, got pregnant, goes to have an abortion, she must endure a second rape at the hands of a doctor because of this bill, wait like two weeks, then go back and actually have the abortion. This bill has been passed.It is in effect. WTF
(ok there is a way to edit the clip to that exact part but my computer doesn't like me)
Also what ever happened to the democratic process? Apparently republican's votes don't count anymore.

Sorry, uh, I was trying to watch some clips of the Steven Colbert show earlier and it wouldn't let me because apparently Canada doesn't have the right copyright access. FUCK YOU, VIACOM.
ALSO FUCK YOU VIRGINIA. It makes me feel a little ill if I think about it too hard.

Yeah, I was vibrating with rage after watching that clip, wanting to stop random university student women and ask if they knew about it and... like be enraged together or something. But alas, I still don't know people on campus and thought that it might be very random and creepy.

Ugh, it's just -- I literally cannot understand why some people (so many people!) think that this is even an option. What they think it will actually accomplish.
Btw, have you seen this petition against the fertilized-egg-is-a-person thing in Virginia?
