While Republican Presidential candidate Rick Santorum was in my hometown, Rockford, today, I thought it was appropriate to revisit Illinois House Bill 4085, which was passed by an overwhelming majority last month in the Agriculture and Conservation Committee. No, that's not a misprint, The Agriculture and Conservation Committee. Not surprising considering how a lot of leading Conservatives seem to think of women as property or livestock. The storm of protest that resulted from similar measures being introduced in Virginia and Texas cooled the vote on this one. This time. The law would require women to have an ultrasound at least 24 hours before having an abortion. The procedure to do so requires a process that is painful and invasive. Doctors don't want to do it. Most Americans don't want this to become a law, but there seems to be this never-resting minority out their obsessed with telling women (and now doctors), what they can and can't do in their own bodies. Zombie Logic Webcomic's very own Dr. Strangedog offers his opinion on being told by the State what procedures he is required to perform on unwilling women.
