Joy Behar Decries VA Abortion Law Requiring Ultrasound: ‘Is This the Taliban? Are we in Afghanistan?’

The View host Joy Behar is not one to shy away from outlandish assertions. Still, comparing a Virginia law requiring women to view an ultrasound of their unborn fetus prior to undergoing an abortion to the oppressive, often violent practices of the Taliban, might be taking things just a bit too far.
Newsbusters brings us the video:
CBSNews.com described the law:
One issue that has come under the microscope with relation to the ultrasound bill is its requirement that some women undergo a transvaginal ultrasound probe, which is considered more physically invasive than other procedures.
While the bill does not explicitly mandate the use of transvaginal ultrasounds, many women would inevitably be required to undergo them; in the early stages of pregnancy, that procedure is often the only form of ultrasound that can detect a fetus’ heartbeat.
NewsBusters provides the transcript:
JOY BEHAR: There’s a couple of bills pending in Virginia. One of them is that women will be required to undergo sonograms, ultrasound when they are about to have an abortion and the other one is that if a heartbeat isn’t detected, then they will get a trans-vaginal ultrasound which is basically going into the vagina and very intrusive. Now, there is no — as far as I can tell there is no other Procedure including MRIs and cancer treatments that are mandated. This is- would be a mandated treatment for girls who are pregnant to see the child, the infant, the fetus-
BARBARA WALTERS: The fetus.
BEHAR: -whatever at that point is before they get the abortion and if they can’t hear a heartbeat then they will have to undergo an ultrasound vaginal sonogram which I had one of those. I had one of those because I had benign tumors on my ovaries a few years ago and it was extremely intrusive and invasive.
ELISABETH HASSELBECK: It’s uncomfortable. I agree with you.
BEHAR: It’s like, what are we? What is this, the Taliban now? What are we, in Afghanistan? Where are we exactly in this country?
Behar flat-out rejected the ultrasound requirements, dubbing it: “so frickin‘ intrusive to a woman’s body.”

Posted on February 16, 2012 at 8:01pmI did not watch the video cause I cannot stand to hear this Woman’s voice. This is the Woman that said that “Tim Tebow’s Mother should have had an abortion because he just as easily could have grown up to be a child molester as a Heismann trophy winner”. This statement wins the prize as the most moronic statement of the decade. The fact that she has an audience at all is astounding.

Posted on February 16, 2012 at 8:20pmThe trans-******* ultrasound is invasive? What does she think an abortion is? It is very rare that a trans-******* ultrasound is needed. Not only that, don’t they have to do an ultrasound before an abortion to make sure that the woman is pregnant? Pregnancy tests are always accurate.

Posted on February 16, 2012 at 10:48pmAll a person can do these days is marvel at the in-your-face hypocrisy of the right. They are in favor of small government but (as I think TIFOSA said) they want a government so small that it fits into a woman’s ******. They say they want they want to get government out of your life, but if you are female, they don’t mind so much requiring you to have an ultrasound probe inserted into your ******. They are against regulation, but don’t have a problem with requiring a doctor to perform and a patient to undergo the totally, completely medically unnecessary procedure of inserting a probe into a woman’s ******. They don’t want insurance to cover all female prescriptions (all male prescription are covered of course), but they don‘t mind stiffing the insurance company for the medically unnecessary insertion of objects into women’s ******. Or is the woman forced to pay for a she doesn’t want?
I think Behar’s reference was to virginity checks by the Taliban. Yeah, that’s an overblown analogy. What’s not overblown is the government dictating that doctors must perform medically unnecessary procedures on their patients, not for health reason, but for political ones.
The hypocrisy of the right. All you can do is laugh…

Report Post »I think they are just trying to address this fraud that these abortion clinics are putting out. Places like Planned Parenthood markets themselves to be a women’s health clinic. Providing family planning and reproductive advice as well as breast cancer screenings and counseling for pregnant young mothers. But it is all a front just like the mob utilizes. They are industrial abortion mills. Their business is killing and business is booming. They talk to these young pregnant girls in stages and then close them on the idea that abortion is a no consequence, easy way for a second chance at responsibility. They even send in a closer to close the deal. This new law just insures that these young women have the full picture of what they are doing. When they see that the baby is already starting to form and moves on its own, has its own heartbeat, many of these young women change their mind. If you can save just one, the law was a success. Killing your child should never be an easy process.

If a doctor said a woman had say cancer and was going to have to have a breast removed but didn’t show her the cancer images they be up in arms for not giving women all the info. about their situation. Ultrasounds don’t hurt anyone the only thing they do is show the mother the life she is about to murder.

Why not be the surrogate mother and give the child to an adoption-agency? The girl wanting an abortion needs to know that a 2-minute “thrill” that causes a “live” being needs to take responsibility for her actions. She needs to be aware that the child is viable in her womb and abortion is KILLING. There is a Commandment to that effect – apparently you’re unacquainted with it.

As a former lay counselor at a pregnancy crisis clinic, I can verify all that.

Posted on February 16, 2012 at 7:35pmAh, the ol’ “keep your hands off my sacred cow” routine… but let my team tell you what’s best . A few years ago, WV considered legislation to mandate dental care for children… lobbied for (oddly enough) by dentists. Go figure. The plan was to report parents to CPS if they didn’t meet a mandated schedule of services. This proposal was a busybody approach arguably based on good intentions (that would’ve happened to open up more Medicaid funding to the dental world and line their pockets).
Report Post »I get the intent of this legislation. Do I agree with it? Nope… and I’m not an abortion proponent, but like it or not, abortion is legal. The further we go down this road, the more EVERYONE will have to contend with this type of garbage. If you don’t want govt. telling you what you can and cannot eat, what you can and cannot know, etc,, then you won’t jump on the bandwagon with this nonsense.
I’m quite sure Behar is real keen on teaching children about the fine art of buggery and transexualism or how Islam has been a religion of peace (not so much) since its inception. It sucks whenever govt. and busybodies start sticking there nose in your business (literally). I don’t want it done from either side of the ideological spectrum. Govt. sanctioned probes up a ladies hoo-hah? Just show a video of the proposed procedure… meets the intent of the bill: Playing on emotion.
Defend this VA bill… and don’t p!ss and moan when the same is done to you.

Posted on February 16, 2012 at 8:13pmWhatever. Basically, I can tell you these young girls are being told that all a baby is is a blob of cells. That it’s the same as cancer. How do I know this? Because it is what I was taught in school. I never became pregnant, so I never faced the decision – but a lot of my friends did. At least two of my friends were pregnant with twins and the abortion only got one of the babies while badly damaging the second. Both suffered severely while their body miscarried the second child. Had they known that they were carrying actual children I doubt they would have had the abortions. These girls are being lied to – they NEED to SEE that what they carry isn’t a blob – it’s a CHILD! Quite different than having your teeth cleaned!
Report Post »The Gooch
Posted on February 17, 2012 at 8:21amA Child Protective Service referral is no joke. Govt & complicit busybodies saying you have no choice but 2 allow them 2 poke around in your mouth is the same approach being used here. And medical evidence was being cited in WV about how poor dental hygiene can be linked to all kinds of health concerns, including the #1 killer of Americans, heart disease. So having a law set up that could lead 2 govt. saying “Hey, we DEMAND you get your teeth cleaned… or we’ll take action that could lead 2 your child being made a ward of the state” is in the same realm. It’s intent was 2 satisfy the will of a few… for arguably the good of many. As you said, “Whatever.”
Report Post »If any pregnant individual is so ignorant as to not know what the end result of her condition is, then by all means, any responsible medical professional should offer to sit down & explain the birds & the bees along with a brief lesson on fetal development. But this is like the asinine claim that some people still don’t know smoking is generally bad for you… it may not kill you with cancer, but it will affect your health. What is the logic argument that assumes a pregnant female doesn’t know the end result is a human child? There is none… just mental gymnastics.
Listen, provide all the options & literature you want. I believe both sides should be allowed to throw as much propaganda as they want at this issue. Govt. mandated probes cross a line. This is just as ugly as the left can be. Count me out.

Posted on February 16, 2012 at 7:15pmHave you seen the ultrasound of Behar’s head? There is nothing but a bat flapping around in there.
Report Post »Wow! It flew out of one ear and back in through the other. Wow! It flew out the same one again. And… there it goes flying back in the opposite one. If you look through her eyes, you can see it go through. Wow!

Posted on February 16, 2012 at 7:18pmShe is not taking the progressive stance on this one. The Virginia legislature is trying to force women to undergo an unnecessary medical procedure. THAT is progressive.

Posted on February 16, 2012 at 8:05pmThis procedure is not near as invasive as the one they are getting ready to undergo. I miss your logic here SethLevy. It does not compute. There is no rationality in you argument.

Posted on February 16, 2012 at 9:25pmYes, but they are choosing to undergo that procedure. If you are about to get a colonoscopy, should you also get a urethral swab?

Posted on February 16, 2012 at 11:37pmThat is not a good analogy.They are getting ready to have a large syringe inserted beyond that point to swath the baby in hypertonic saline, and then a suction device, probes, and forceps are inserted to break the small body into pieces so that the pieces can be removed through the suction device. The ultrasound is a non-invasive procedure to evaluate if a heart beat can be found. It is not distant to the site of the upcoming procedure, and can be a useful tool so that they have additional data for the patient to have a more informed consent. This is a logical process followed in most medical procedures. The only reason not to perform this, is to withold information from the patient so that they do not have information which may disuade them from continuing on.

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 9:56amWhere do you get y’alls ideas of how abortions are performed?Comic books perhaps.First trimester abortions may be done pharmacutically,or by d&e.There isn’t saline inserted,nor is the baby chopped up.The womens cervix is dilated and the zygote is aspirated.Y’alls method is done in D&C and D&X.These are done in the second and third trimesters.If you wish to argue a point at least have the brain cells to gather the facts necessary for debate.

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 6:44pmI have been to medical school. I have observed abortions. It is a requirment of the abortionist to count the body parts in the container at the end of the procedure. It is an informed comment.

If you dare – how about some actual video evidence of an actual abortion – of a baby- not a “zygote”. Your lack of compassion is sickening.

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 6:56pmActual video – only for those that deny that this is a brutal procedure. I do not recommend anyone with a heart watch this.

Posted on February 16, 2012 at 7:05pmThe baby has a body too. Ever think of that? Or do you think only of your self?
The abortion argument is a loser for the Dems, better move to other topics, FAST.

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 1:49amThe abortion argument is a loser for Republicans, because more women vote than men, and even most of those who don’t like the idea of abortion like the idea of men making the decision fro other women even less. Candidates don’t win elections by making abortion an issue and being more anti-choice than the opponent.

Posted on February 17, 2012 at 3:49amStupid women need to vote their conscience then, wouldn’t you say? I am a woman, and I would not stand with any other woman that holds the liberal nihilistic views of the left.

Posted on February 18, 2012 at 4:27pmThey aren’t stupid, and they are voting their conscience in allowing others the freedom to make their own moral judgment call on whether abortion is a crime or a right.
