So I went to check my Yahoo Mail and saw this article. Yahoo loves to blast you with news headlines to get you to read them. And sometimes it works.
Reporter Megan Carpentier undergoes ‘unnecessary’ transvaginal ultrasound to frame abortion debate
I'll put the rest under a cut, because it's potentially triggering, though the quote I use and I myself don't go into any details.
"It was not, however, like being raped, despite all the furor-generating headlines and "Doonesbury" cartoons that were printed. It was uncomfortable to the point of being painful, emotionally triggering (and undoubtedly is more so for victims of rape or incest or any woman in the midst of an already-emotional experience) and something that no government should force its citizens to undergo to make a political point. But it wasn't like being raped--"
Yea, you know why it wasn't like being raped? Because you UNDERWENT THE PROCEDURE VOLUNTARILY.
So, yea, grr.
