Why not make it a law to have the doctor call her an immoral slut, too?

Because the GOP doesn't like the government getting between you and your doctor or unnecessary medical procedures, the Texas GOP is trying to pass a bill to put the government between you and your doctor for an unnecessary medical procedure:

House Bill 15, sponsored by state Rep. Sid Miller, R-Stephenville, requires a doctor performing an abortion to conduct a sonogram at least 24 hours before the procedure was to take place. The doctor also is required to show the woman the sonogram image, play the sound of the fetal heartbeat for her and describe in some detail the image that appears on the sonogram. The woman does not have to view the sonogram or hear the heartbeat, although she still would have to hear the doctor's description.

This is all the same old distractionary crap by the Repukes. They don't give a good god-damn about human beings, much less the origins of human life at the cellular/fetal level - - - look at all the anti-human things they embrace (ie; profiteering at ALL costs, ALL foreign wars the US can find or create, anti-welfare, anti-universal healthcare, anti-worker, etc, etc) but we're supposed to believe that they care about some 2 or 3 day old fertilized embryo?? Shit, they'd sell their mother into white-slavery for a 20% return on their investments. This is just MORE of the world class hypocrisy that MORE people should be recognizing as the dominant characteristic of the Repukes.
