Michigan Holsters Its Transvaginal Ultrasound Wands

Yesterday:

Michigan’s House Speaker has ruled out a forced ultrasound bill that would mandate transvaginal probes for women seeking abortions. Speaker Jase Bolger (R) confirmed in a statement that “this House of Representatives will not pass a bill mandating transvaginal ultrasounds.”

“While I want to be sure women have access to the best technology available, I have absolutely no interest in forcing a woman to have a transvaginal ultrasound,” Bolger explained.

We’re really through the looking glass when it’s good news that a state legislator has decided to not allow the government to mandate a vaginal insertion.
