McDonnell calls out officers in riot gear to quell massive female uprising

MoonHowler

What appeared to be a peaceful sit-in by women and older men was quickly quelled by police in riot gear at the State Capital on Saturday. The crowd was protesting invasive pre-abortion procedures soon to be mandated by the state.

31 arrests were made.  The protesters were carted off by McDonnell’s storm troopers.  The protestors were arrested for trespassing and unlawful assembly for being on the steps of the Capital.  It looks like McDonnell is hell bent on trampling  every component of the First Amendment, including free speech, right to assemble and right to redress grievances towards the government.

Bob McDonnell is going to insist on that ultra sound and if you don’t like it, he is going to shove it up your….trans-vaginal.

Planned Parenthood Services in the Old Dominion

MoonHowler

Many folks have suggested that women just go to Planned Parenthood if they want birth control.  Let’s take a look and see what all is available.  It looks like there are 7 centers in Virginia.   They are located in the following cities:

Blacksburg

Charlottesville

Falls Church

Hampton

Richmond

Roanoke

Virginia Beach

All but one of those centers offers abortion services.  Hampton only offers a referral.  The thing that jumps out at the reader is that all centers are located in areas where there are colleges.  What also jumps out is there are no rural centers for women.   Some offer LGBT Services .  Some offer general health services.  All offer men’s services.   What do people do if they live in southwest Virginia or southside?  Danville and Emporia don’t have Planned Parenthood.  It appears that the closest center for most of southside is Roanoke or Virginia Beach.  If women don’t live near a population center, they are out of luck.   Pennsylvania has 41 centers.  Most do not offer abortion services.  North Dakota has no centers.  South Dakota has 2 centers and only one has abortion services.  There is a lot of land out in the midwest.
