Jon Stewart Explains Ultrasound Law To GOP: 'A TSA Pat-Down In Your Vagina'
by Frances Martel

Jon Stewart had a few bones to pick with social conservatives today, and though he began attacking Chris Christie for vetoing the same-sex marriage bill, trying to explain to him that his take wasn't much different from banning, say, fat people from getting married, but then moved on to the mandatory transvaginal ultrasounds proposed for women who want abortions in Virginia. His best guess at a comparison? Like something out of A Clockwork Orange.

Stewart then tried to find some equivalent on the right of an intrusion into one’s body where the government should not be allowed, and found Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell vocally opposing TSA pat-downs. “This is like a TSA pat-down inside their vagina,” Stewart explained, outraged that to the state, “it’s not rape, it’s a regional quirk.”
