Some of them do or at least they are using it as an excuse not to have one. One person I know of said she could hardly walk the next day. Really? I had one of those internal ultrasounds done for a female problem I had and I didn't find it uncomfortable at all and it didn't appear to be any bigger than a tampon. Maybe they come in different sizes? Oh dear, will that be considred to be crude humor again?

So you put your big girl pants on when you go to a comedy club, but take them off to post on City-Data?

Sorry, I wouldn't even care about remarks like this, except you spend an inordinate amount of time around here complaining about how you're insulted, offended and how liberals are just a bunch of meanies to you.

Perhaps the size of the wand depends on the age of the equipment and the different manufacturers.

Regardless, the size isn't the point. Do we discuss the size of a rapist's penis when determining guilt?

Defense attorney: "Your honor, my client's penis is teeny weeny, so the rape wasn't really that bad."

4. That's why some anti-choicers think abortion is OK if the woman is raped, if she didn't enjoy it then THAT abortion is different somehow.


5. conservatives seem to enjoy FORCE...and many women are not into it...
What a ridiculous smear of conservative Americans. I am no fan of Santorum but he has several children. Was it by immaculate conception because accoding to you conservatives get no sex?

Contrary to your lies, most conservatives don't treat their women in the way you describe either. But because you don't like their pro-life stance just smear away even if it's not true, right?

I JUST HAD ONE. I HELD IT IN MY HAND. For goodness' sakes, will you take someone's first person word for it. Arguing over the actual device is just disingenuous in the extreme.

Please give me one good reason why the use of this device is being promoted over the use of abdominal ultrasound? I had a baby 5 years ago and they didn't find it necessary to use this torturous thing for to make sure a fetus that was wanted was ok, so why use it to try and talk someone out of terminating, if not to make the entire experience even more awful than it already is?

Here's a link to the actual device, I won't post the picture because I'm sure diagrams of women's reproductive systems will give some people the vapors.

A medical device is a rape device? Pardon me while I howl in laughter! How do they do an abortion of they don't use a medical device that probe the vagina? FYI, I have had one of those internal sonograms and I never once felt violated. What a perverted thought! I guess every woman gets raped when she has her annual pap test then?

You've had one, but you still insist it's the size of a tampon? Did you look at the link I provided?

Of course, if you did have one, it wasn't because you were forced to have it.

The Justice Department defines rape as, "penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim,"

So the Justice Department definition is just a perverted thought?

Plain and simple. If it's not medically necessary and the woman doesn't want it, it is rape. Regardless of the size.

What? Don't get you first remark at all. As I said, don't be insulting and I won't complain about it. It's' really that simple. What's wrong with civil debate? Those who have to resort to insults know they have lost the debate and never had an argument in the first place.
