Please add any previous recent posts you feel are relevant to the theme and discuss at length. I am going to try to make as many starter threads as possible to keep things moderately organized!

A brief excerpt:
Late last month Alabama Senator Linda Coleman told RH Reality Check, "you can't tell me forcing a probe into a woman's vagina against her consent is anything but rape. You can put icing on it, dress it up, but this is the forced penetration of a woman's vagina without her consent."
Coleman was outraged over the introduction of the bill. Now that it has passed out of committee it moves to the full floor for debate and vote.
Alabama media is rightfully honing in on one of SB12's champion's Senator Greg Reed. Reed supports SB12, and is also president of a medical device company that sells the equipment required by the bill.
