Virginia Delegate Says Mandatory Ultrasound Bill Will Turn Doctors Into "Criminals" Under The Law

Next week, Virginia Delegate David Englin (D-45) plans to change the conversation around the forced transvaginal ultrasound bill (or as we believe it is more accurately described, the state-sanctioned rape bill) next week by addressing its potental criminality under Virginia's object sexual penetration statute.

"[object sexual penetration] is a new issue I plan to raise when we debate the Senate version of this bill next week. But surely decent people who disagree about a woman's right to choose can at least agree she shouldn't be vaginally penetrated without her consent."

But murdering an unborn baby is okay.

a ZEF is not a person as that word is used in the US Constitution or federal court cases, but a woman is. This Virginia law clearly mandates rape according to the FBI definition of that term and even according to Virginia rape law. It violates the constitutional right to not to be subjected to unreasonable searches and, for the rape victims for whom there is no exception, the constitutional right not to be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment. I'm tired of the "But it's a little baby" people. A previable ZEF does not have its own life; it has to live in/off the woman's body to survive; if she dies, it dies. The woman has a life of her own. Thank god I chose celibacy over thirty years ago.
