Mandatory ultrasounds: close your eyes and think of Corbett


So, back in 2012, PA Guv Tommy Corbett was out selling the merits of a state bill that ended up dying in the legislature. Said bill would have required women seeking abortions to undergo an ultrasound of the fetus. Under the bill, the doctor would be required to take notes as to whether and how much the woman was making eye contact with the ultrasound images. Corbett commented that he found this procedure unproblematic, given that women could always shut their eyes, thereby depriving the state of its ability to fuck with a woman's head. "That is, during stage one of the program," continued Corbett. "Stage two employs stabbing the woman with a stick every time she looks down. We're not sure about stage three yet, but I can promise that it will involve robots."

The reason these comments are back in the news in '13 is that Corbett is running for re-election and most residents of the state would vote for a pile of manure over Tommy, 'cause, hey, fertilization.  And these comments make him look like a douche down to like the molecular level of douchiness. So he wants to make clear that those comments were out of context.  It's unclear what additional context would make the comments more palatable; as is Corbett is sounding like the fool at the party who makes a rape joke and then spends about fifteen minutes explaining in a high-pitched voice why the joke isn't really about rape.

Angrycat sez: Fuck you with your picking me up to do God knows what; try anything and I'll tear your hand off




Your are going to do WHAT to my WHAT





Maybe playing dead is the best approach here.



Fuck it, that hand is coming off.
