Just a day after some wingnuts in Michigan proposed a transvaginal ultrasound bill, Michigan’s House Speaker has said it’s not gonna happen:

Michigan’s House Speaker Jase Bolger (R) on Thursday categorically ruled out legislation introduced by his Republican colleagues to mandate transvaginal ultrasounds for women before having an abortion.

“While I want to be sure women have access to the best technology available, I have absolutely no interest in forcing a woman to have a transvaginal ultrasound,” Bolger said in a statement. “This House of Representatives will not pass a bill mandating transvaginal ultrasounds.”

Mr. Bolger is aware of how toxic the teabaggers in his caucus are, even as he has made his bed with them.
