All Penetrations Are Created Equal ('Pukes Defend Virginia’s Occupy Vagina Law)

Abortion opponents have leapt to defend Virginia’s pending forced ultrasound laws, which would require many women seeking abortions to undergo a medically unnecessary transvaginal ultrasound, on the basis that this coercive form of penetration is no different than the (usually) consensual penetration that resulted in the pregnancy to begin with, or the more invasive procedure they’ve chosen to have. Big Journalism‘s Dana Loesch delivers a prime example of this rationale.

I’m not picking on Dana Loesch here. I’ve seen this sentiment echoed far and wide among conservatives, but hers is probably the most pointed example. From The Dana Show: (Loesch has objected to the use of this clip to fully represent her views, so feel free to read what she’s written on the subject for all that missing nuance)

So her own words are not okay??

She is, as my grandma used to say, a whole big bag of crazy.

How dare someone quote her own words!

Dana has two choices: walk it back or double down. She's obviously going with the double down.
