State lawmakers in New York have introduced legislation that would ban physicians in the state from performing “virginity checks.”

A bill that was introduced in the New York State Assembly on Monday seeks to prohibit physicians in the state from “performing or supervising virginity examinations,” a memorandum for the legislation states. A companion bill was also introduced in the state Senate later this week.

If the legislation is passed, physicians who perform virginity examinations, which the bill text describes as procedures designed to determine whether a woman has had sexual intercourse, would be subjected to professional misconduct penalties and possible criminal charges.

The laws come after rapper T.I. received widespread criticism earlier this month for a recent interview in which he claimed he takes his 18-year-old daughter to the gynecologist on a yearly basis to "check her hymen."

“[The doctor is] like, ‘You know, sir, I have to, in order to share information’ — I’m like, ‘Deyjah, they want you to sign this so we can share information. Is there anything you would not want me to know? See, Doc? Ain’t no problem,’” he said then.

OMG, now women will be forced into back alleys with older women using coat hangers to make the determination.

Has the state already solved all other problems? Why is this even a problem that needs more laws?

[wildcard_redneck]

They’re doing this because nobody would ever drive to New Jersey to get this done. /sarc

Yet no parental consent for a third trimester abortion, right?

Are there any more evil and controlling people than leftists?

I guess all the OB/Gyn doctors think they have seen everything then BAM! here’s another one.

This guy is sick. He’s also misinformed - if he is trying to find out if she’s sexually active. Since Bill Clinton’s oval office escapades intercourse is old fashioned.

And where is this guy’s wife, the mother of this poor child?

[yesthatjallen]

I wondered about that too...

“OMG, now women will be forced into back alleys with older women using coat hangers to make the determination.”

Exactly.

Liberals aren’t consistent in their arguments.

Soon enough it will be a felony to seek to know whether a prospective date is male or female.

[John Milner]

Actually in the post modern mixed up shook up muddle up world it makes sense.

I mean how, exactly, is a physician going to determine if the person is a virgin if she was born a male and has no lady parts to examine?

I think I performed my first ‘virginity’ check just after I turned 15.

[rhinohunter]

I would think the ROP would be dead set against this law. Don’t they require this test for any girl they are taking as a wife?

> I think I performed my first ‘virginity’ check just after I turned 15.

Of course, it all depends on how you check it.

Spotcheck Billy got down on his hands and knees
He said "Hey momma, hey let me check your oil all right?"
She said "No, no honey, not tonight.
Come back Monday, come back Tuesday, and then I might."

Why do lawmakers feel this is their business?

Aren’t there enough real problems to deal with to keep them busy?
