Virginia GOP Delegate’s Wife Refused To Have Sex With Him Over Transvaginal Ultrasound Bill

video
» 103 comments

Hell hath no fury like a legislator scorned. Virginia is currently taking up a bill that would require women to undergo transvaginal ultrasounds before getting abortions. In the past few days, Governor Bob McDonnell has relaxed his stance on the bill, suggesting the procedure could be optional instead of mandatory. And yet the fighting continues. Earlier today, state delegate David Albo took the floor to address just how personal this legislation had become for him: when his wife found out he was connected to it, she immediately denied him sexual pleasure. Yes, this went into the official record. I imagine dinner tonight must have been pleasantly awkward in the Albo household.

Albo told his colleagues the story of his late night adventures earlier this week, when he came home from a particularly contentious session and spent the rest of the night with his family. He read a bedtime story to his son (who’s probably going to love finding out about this pretty soon), then went to try and seduce his wife. To give his story the necessary gravitas, Albo played what I’m pretty sure is porno music, and described EXACTLY HOW he tried to have sex with his spouse. He didn’t leave a single detail out, from the red wine to his “patented move” to his wife’s love of the Redskins. (And no, he did not proceed to make a joke about how much she also loves the Foreskins.)

They were channel-surfing, trying to set the mood or something, when this happened:

“All of a sudden, on my big screen TV comes this big thing and a picture of a bill that says ‘Albo’ on it. And I went, ‘Wow! Holy smokes, my name is as big as the wall!’ And the very next scene was a gentleman from Alexandria’s face, as big as my wall, going…”

(This part of the transcript has been edited out because Albo started making weird noises and I couldn’t really understand what he was saying. Basically, the other legislator was connecting Albo’s name to the transvaginal ultrasound bill, and, well, let’s let Mr. Albo finish.)

“…it just goes on and on and on. And I’m like this with my wife, and the show’s over and she looks at me and she goes, ‘I’ve gotta go to bed.’ So if the gentleman’s place was to make sure there was one less Republican in this world, he did it. So I expect an apology from you later, in person, on the House floor.”

     Neil…you still haven’t grasped what the difference between the Trans Vaginal Probe ultrasound versus the belly ultrasound. I’m sure that your wife/daughter would be fine with having the Trans Vaginal Probe procedure after being raped..For you to get the right perspective. Think of it this way…think about getting a probe up your nether regions after being raped. I’m fairly sure that you would find that it was like being raped a second time.

    The procedure that I think that you know about is the traditional jelly on the belly ultrasound. Note this bill was NOT about that type of ultrasound. It was about an 8-10 inch long probe being shoved up her nether regions. It would not find any fingers or toes, on any organs. It would barely pick up a heartbeat.

    You see to get an idea of how far along a woman is during pregnancy she has the jelly on the belly ultrasound. With that type IF the fetus is large enough you’d finally get to see fingers and toes but it wouldn’t be until the second trimester. Exactly NOT where this bill was going. This bill was to shame someone out of an abortion. Exactly not the kindest things to do to a rape or an incest victim or someone that has an ectopic pregnancy (the type where if the fetus is left in there after 4 months it will kill the woman)

    If a transvaginal ultrasound is invasive, what do these women think an abortion is? If you love abortion so much why not stay awake during the procedure? Maybe your abortion could be videotaped and you could watch as your baby is being cut into little pieces. Hey, invite the father! Show the little man what happens when we f-ck without a condom.

    REALLY???  Honest to God REALLY????  The problem is the STATE is requiring an INVASIVE procedure (that you pay for), waiting 24 hours and having it be part of your PERMANENT MEDICAL RECORD (whatever the F’ that is).  I truly do not care what your views on abortion are but IT IS THE LAW.  And the party of small government ‘don’t let the liberals get between you and your doctor’ is MANDATING that you have it.

     That’s cute.  Lets go back to the basics here.  Abortion is legal.  Abortion is a choice.  Very important word here.
    Also you might want to get just a little more informed.  In most cases procedures are performed while the patient is awake( with just a local for the pain) .  And I’ve seen this as a volunteer nurse at a local clinic-no one LOVES an abortion.  Its a very hard choice for these girls and women.  Its generally not a celebration day.

    Considering you don’t have a vagina GEOFF, how would you know what it feels like? Well let me tell you since I’ve had THREE of them done. 

    You are sat on an exam table with your feet in stirrups. You are naked from the waist down and covered with a thin paper drape.  An 8-10 inch wand covered with a condom is inserted into the vagina with lubrication. It then has to be moved around inside the vagina to direct the sound waves through the pelvis to get accurate views of the internal abdominal organs, uterus, Fallopian tubes and ovaries, and if its present, a fetus. This lasts about 20 minutes to half an hour, since they have to get views, take pictures and measurements.

    A woman will feel every movement… so in a strange, awkward, uncomfortable clinical way… its like sex. Or rape, since in this case its going to be forced on her. 

    Over-hyping the invasiveness?

    Please have a galaxy of seats.

    Transvaginal ultrasounds are given to EVERY WOMEN before an abortion.

     It’s the only way the doctor can determine how far along IN the pregnancy she is.  Many abortion doctors use ultra-sound methods during the the abortion so they ensure the entire fetus is gone and infections don’t occur.

    I don’t know why everyone is acting like this is something new!  Folks are screaming like their hair is on fire over an invasive procedure that ALL WOMEN HAVE BEFORE ABORTIONS!!!

    That still seems much less invasive than an abortion. “How dare you force me to go through an invasive procedure to obtain access to a much more invasive procedure” seems like an odd argument.

    Comparing it to rape is absurd. An awkward medical procedure, that still requires consent, is simply not rape.

    Also. Reading the bill. I don’t see the transvaginal mandate. Could you point me to the language that requires that?

  • Jessica Eldridge

    I had an Ectopic Pregnancy and had to have 2 Trans-vaginal Ultrasounds (both were during a 3 weeks period while trying to find the fetus because I wouldn’t accept the methotrexate injections to remove the pregnancy until I was 100% sure it was in my tubes. You have some facts wrong here. First of all, the probe is not shoved in you, it is lubricated and then gently inserted there is NO pain, and only minor discomfort, the probe is only pushed in far enough to reach the uterus/cervix. Ectopic pregnancy’s are almost NEVER deadly and are generally caught before the 10th week. Because the pregnancy does not grow within the uterus but instead in the tubes and often on the outside of the uterus, a woman’s Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (HCG – the pregnancy hormone) levels will be far lower when mesaured by blood work than that of a viable pregnancy (my levels were measured first at 15 at 6 week and raised only to 261 at 10 weeks when I received the injections when a viable pregnancy would have been closer to 288,000) Ectopic pregnancy’s are almost always caught by simple blood test alone and confirmed with Tran-vaginal Ultrasound already!
    As someone who speaks from having a friend who chose abortion, I support this completely! My friend didn’t have the chance to look at what was growing inside her and let her FULL emotions make the decision, instead the decision was made based on her doubts, fears and personal insecurities. She aborted the pregnancy.  Fast forward 5 years and she is now the mother of a little boy just 3 months older than my son. She regrets the abortion, every year on the date of the abortion she breaks down, for weeks she has mood swings and is wracked with guilt. Guilt she placed on herself as everyone who knew of the pregnancy supported her decision. Throughout my life I have met hundreds of people who have had abortions, you almost always know when you meet them because they feel compelled to talk about it over and over, and of all the people I have met only 1 of them has no regret. If no one else is willing to admit that we as women will always feel some bond to the child inside of us (even if we do not wish to raise the child) I will. I believe this will help many of the women who place themselves in the position to have an abortion. There are too many birth control options, as well has free adoptions all over the United States for a woman who can not handle seeing the fetus and continuing with the abortion (and before anyone makes it a point to say that these options are costly – look into the cost of an abortion, their cost is far more than $41 monthly for viable birth control options.) Yet, I do agree with abortion in the case of the woman who can emotionally handle looking at the fetus and continue with a full and level headed approach to having the abortion, she is far more likely to do the necessary steps to prevent having a future abortion as well as be able to cope with the healing process.I would also like to point out the rape and incest flaw above. There are option’s out for those as well to prevent pregnancy that are FAR cheaper than having an abortion, and if the rape victim does not wish to report the rape and/or see a Dr it’s simply the morning after pill available over the counter at nearly every pharmacy in the country for $80 far less than the cost of at $900-$1200 abortion. My overall point is this, there are always better options than having an abortion, those should always be applied first, then and only then should abortion be a viable option and a woman should be confronted with all of her emotions and allowed to work through them. Having an abortion isn’t like going to the Dr to have a pap smear and should no longer be treated at such, it is a big deal, it is something that every woman who makes the decision will live with the memory of, and too often the regret for the rest of her life.

    The abortion provider must offer a viewing of the ultrasound image. In TX, a law was passed in 2011 where you must provide an audible heartbeat of the fetus and if they won’t look at the ultra sound a detailed description of the fetus pictured in the sonogram must be given.

    I doubt many doctors comply with these regulations. It would be pretty difficult to regulate.

    Your story is so full of holes and lies I want to puke.  Yiu’ve met hundreds of women that have abortions.  Do you work in abortion clinics?  I have met lots of women i can say over a couple thousand but I can not say for certain that I have met hundreds of women that have had abortions YOU SOUND CRAZY.

    The fact that woman don’t celebrate their abortions is so obvious that I am wondering what PLANET you live on.  Pro-Choice supporters understand that the choice to have an abortion is difficult, delicate, private and personal. It doesn’t change the fact that it should be their right to CHOOSE to have one.  Your friend that had the abortion from an ectopic pregnancy has every right to be sad and Thank God that she survived that pregnancy due to her abortion to have another child.  I tend to disbelieve your story on this issue, you sound like a nosy, busy-body looking for abortion at every turn. I don’t know of any ectopic pregnancies that resulted in births and many have killed woman, most of them UNINSURED, UNAWARE and without PRENATAL CARE!So because you did everything to ensure that your pregnancy was not a viable one then you feel no shame or misery about YOUR ABORTION.  Great, I am so glad that you had the right to choose with the help of your Doctor which course of action to take.  I am sure that even though you didn’t express it because it would not support your twisted opinion on the other women that have abortions that you still grieve the fetus that could have become a child had it not been a tubal pregnancy.No uterus is alike and you cannot speak to the discomfort that any women would feel from a trans-vaginal probe.  Do I have to get specific about the tightness and looseness of some vaginas or the mental state of a rape victim?Your chattering about $80 morning after pills and doctor prescribed contraception being more affordable than an abortion is also obvious and you sound a bit preachy and condescending.  Lots of people don’t have $80 for groceries or utilities. That is why our POTUS is as asking that it is covered with no co-pay in all insurance but those uninsured will most likely not be able to afford 80 bucks and I hope she has another hospital besides a Catholic one in her community as she will be left out in the cold.Although you happen to have a UTERUS it doesn’t give you any leverage to speak on how another woman deals with her pregnancy or contraception.  Keep your high and might value judgments to yourself.  Your view on how a woman should conducts her reproductive life is narrow and insipid.  It leaves out the women who are economically disadvantaged and in abusive, controlling relationships.

    If you are a woman who is aware of what’s happening to your body and catch on to your pregnancy between 5 weeks to 8 weeks you can take a pill that will induce a miscarriage. It’s not invasive at all. I know it must be surprising for a man to find out they don’t know everything, but not every abortion is aspiration or D&E. If I’m using words you’ve never seen before please feel free to Google search “RU-486″ as well as “in-clinic abortions” and educate yourself on the types of abortion that happen in the world that surrounds you.

    Because this doesn’t have squat to do with reproductive rights, it’s about first amendment rights.  
    Let me put it to you this way, and this applies across the board to all people of all political persuasions:   Women who are adults, take charge of their own reproduction. They don’t reproduce unless they want to.  No man makes a baby without her permission unless there is some sort of duct tape or firearm involved.  We all know that sex causes babies, and if you don’t use some sort of control and your parts work, you may make more than you want.  You may want as many as you can make like some religious folks…and you may only want them on your time frame or your terms. Women have always been the gatekeepers in that regard.  And if you truly are free to reproduce on your own terms, it’s laughable to think otherwise.  So so much for paternalism.  Intelligent women of all stripes already know this. Paternalism is irrelevant when you’re free to participate or not.But none of that has anything at all to do with whether or not the government pays for your birth control.  Personally I relegate that idea to teenagers who don’t want to cough up the cash to pay for their own booze.  Having a party?  Bring your own balloon.  Bring as many as you want to, rock on.  But you don’t expect the church lady down the street to pay for your party.  It’s self absorbed, not your place, has no respect as to whether or not she can or wants to pay for your party.  It completely ignores her.  And it absolutely infringes upon HER rights to believe in whatever God/religion that she believes in if the one that she has says that your behavior isn’t in line with it.  No one is telling  you not to party, they’re saying BYOB while the partygoers are whining that it’s not an open bar.It’s downright unconstitutional to demand that others violate their religious beliefs so that you can indulge in your own beliefs. No one is standing in the way of your sexuality, your physiology.  No one is saying you can’t have as much sex as you want to.  No one is taking away your birth control.  It’s all still there.  Go to the pharmacy, whip out your checkbook and buy it.  Or get a job with a company that provides that sort of benefit.But the government which represents all people and the Constitution, which covers all people, gives us the first amendment right not to be coerced religiously.  It doesn’t just apply to tangential wiccan tree worship, it also covers the ubiquitous waspy christian church lady.  And if her religion states that birth control/abortion/whatever is wrong, asking her to pay for it oversteps the boundaries between individuals and our right to religious freedom.If you want religion out of government, the government has to stay out of religion and operate independently of it.  And there absolutely needs to be also be a wall between what someone wants in their life and expecting others to cough up the bucks for it.  It used to be the wall of common sense, but common sense isn’t so common anymore. Now it has to be stated out loud for some to get it.

    I would also say that this entire issue is completely trumped up by the far left in order to take the focus off the real issues in this election cycle.  Jobs, the economy and what has and has not happened in the last three years.  Not a lot for the administration to brag about, so let’s create a left vs right fight over a social issue.  No one…NO ONE was talking about birth control.  Sort of like NO ONE was walking about healthcare after the 2008 election..  Normal people were and have been talking about jobs, the cost of living, the national debt, unfunded entitlements, the potential for going bankrupt, the general financial insolvency of the world.  World economic crises, war, etc..  

    This is just another created controversy to keep your eyes off of the real problems our nation faces.  And the sheep follow it in lockstep.  You could set your watch to it.

    Oh gee, the STATE requires lots of invasive procedures everytime I want to buy a GUN. And unlike abortion, gun ownership is a RIGHT under the constitution. Abortion  on the other hand is a PRIVILEGE.

    There is no talking to YOU.  ‘SOME’ women.  Yep, so we will punish ALL women because YOU think a LAW is a priviledge not a RIGHT.  Kiss off!

    wrongo!  They do NOT do this.  I don’t know where you get your info but it is wrong.  AND women don’t wait 24 hours to be indoctrinated by pro-lifers AND it isn’t part of their permanent medical record like a criminal.

    Just like you jerks tell women.  If you undeniably don’t want to support a child under any circumstance and don’t support the legal right to abortion then don’t SCREW.

    It has already been argued that abortion is a constitutional right and there are plenty of rights that are not mentioned SPECIFICALLY in the Constitution.  Your argument is ridiculous and childish.

     The fact is that Birth Control fails.  There is as many reasons why people use contraception as their is water drops in a river and no law can legislate a woman’s right to make one of the most important decisions of her life.  

    Men don’t have the health risks associated with pregnancy, they get to go about their lives as usual with little sacrifice.

    So as soon as you can carry a child, get probes in your vagina and breast feed then I will get upset about your right to choose.

    How about choosing to be a MAN and not a chump. How about choosing to be RESPONSIBLE.  If you don’t think that the Father of a child and his attitude and opinion is not consequential to whether a woman has a child or not the you are dumb as you sound.

    Yeso!, Yes they do. I got my information from Planned Parenthood, you tool.

    According to Parenthood policy already requires ultrasounds before abortion procedures.

    “That’s just the medical standard,” said Adrienne Schreiber, an official at Planned Parenthood’s Washington, D.C., regional office. “To confirm the gestational age of the pregnancy, before any procedure is done, you do an ultrasound.”

    According to Schreiber, Planned Parenthood does require women to give signed consent for abortion procedures, including the ultrasound. But if the women won’t consent to the ultrasound, the abortion cannot take place, according to the group’s national standards.

    Schreiber said there are several options at that point. If the woman is uncomfortable with a transvaginal ultrasound, which is more invasive, she can wait until the fetus is large enough to opt for a transabdominal ultrasound.

    “But if she’s uncomfortable with a transvaginal ultrasound, then she’s not going to be comfortable with an equally invasive abortion procedure,”

    Oh my god…THANK YOU for saying that!

    Clearly you dont know the difference between a state law and a business policy.

    Wow, you sir, are an idiot. First off, the government is not paying for the contraception, the insurance company and those with policies are. Second, contraceptives are already a part of insurance policies, the only thing different now is that it is now included in the preventative care part of the policy, which you have no co-pay for. Third, womens contraceptives are not equal to mens contraceptives. Mens you can buy over the counter at the drug store for $10. Womens you have to go to the doctors office, get a prescription for it, get it filled at the pharmacy, and pay upwards of $70 a month for it. I use that number cuz thats the amount I have to pay. Fourth, womens contraceptives are used for many other conditions, some life threatening: PCOS, Endometrioses, PMDD and PMS, etc. And fifth, there are many women out there who have medical conditions that prohibit them from having children. High blood pressure, for instance, or uterine prolapse. Also, pregancy is a medical condition in and of itself that comes with its own risks of complications and life threatening conditions. Even in todays world.

    Oh right, a couple more things. I pay a high premium for my medical insurance. It better damn well cover my prescriptions and medical conditions. Just like it covers yours. I dont want to pay for your viagra, but this is how insurance works.

    Its freedom of religion, and freedom from religion and you DONT have the right to force your religious beliefs on me or anyone else, and you DONT have the right to f*ck with the medical insurance that I pay for just because you believe in something I dont.
