How embarrassing for the entire right wing blogosphere.

They worked so very hard to spin the Virginia uterus inspection bill, even denying that trans-vaginal ultrasounds were mandated at all. A few examples from the wingnut echo chamber:

And then, Gov. Bob McDonnell goes and blows their whole flimsy boat of rationalizations right out of the water by backing down and amending the bill to exclude invasive ultrasounds.

How very, very embarrassing. If they were capable of embarrassment, that is.

Here’s a pre-debate thread to savor the lamentations of the wingnuts:

RT @JennQPublic Thanks so much, @GovernorVA, for giving credence to the left’s demagoguery about state-sanctioned rape. is.gd/GWXBen

It's funny isn't it - they demand an ultrasound but then don't go into the details of how that ultrasound would be achieved, going so far as to decry the most obvious method that would have to be used. And that's their defense folks - the art of NOT knowing. It's pathetic!

It merely underscores the fact that government has no business making medical decisions that should remain private between doctor and patient.
