No matter how much you like the state you live in, there’s gotta be at least one claim to fame that you’re not proud about. (Mine = Kansas = Westboro Baptist Church. UGH!) This guy knows how to take one of his state’s faults and turn it into a room full of laughter, which is pretty awesome considering how upsetting the situation is.
The legislation he jokes about gained national attention when Virginia legislators proposed a bill in 2012 that would have required most women seeking an abortion to first undergo a transvaginal ultrasound (aka a probe inserted into the vagina for no medically necessary reason … eek!). It moved forward, but the language was ultimately changed. So that’s good, but mandated ultrasounds are still a huge tactic in the anti-abortion movement, and they are imposed all over the place. Maybe even in your state?
