Now there’s a quote that stands out.
Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) accused Republicans of hypocrisy for pairing protests against a health care mandate with demands for increasingly invasive restrictions on women’s health.
“The only health care mandate they can embrace are transvaginal probes for women,” O’Malley said Friday during a press call.
Of course, it’s worth appreciating this as more than just a political zinger. For months, state officials — most notably Republicans in Virginia, led by Gov. Bob McDonnell — pushed measures intended to force women to have medically unnecessary ultrasounds before they could choose to terminate their pregnancies.
