Comstock with Walker on Ultrasound Mandates… a Canadian Border Wall too?

Barbara Comstock is already with Scott Walker on medically unnecessary ultrasound mandates that invade women’s privacy, but is the One-Term Wonder Congresswoman also “open” to the thoroughly absurd idea of building a wall along the roughly 4,000-mile Canadian border as Scott Walker recently admitted?

As of late, Comstock’s offensive policy ideas have been quite popular among the Republican Presidential candidates. Just this weekend, Governor Christie joined Rep. Comstock’s call to track immigrants like Fed-Ex packages.

Though Rep. Comstock was happy to see Scott Walker in Virginia this weekend, she stopped short of endorsing Walker, but she can’t hide the fact that they share the same reckless agenda.

“Congresswoman Comstock already agrees with Scott Walker on medically unnecessary ultrasound mandates, but how many more of his reckless ideas does she endorse?” said Jermaine House of DCCC. “Northern Virginia voters deserve to know if Comstock, like Walker, will keep hiding her position on birthright citizenship and if she supports wasting their tax dollars building a wall along the longest international border in the world.”

BACKGROUND

Comstock Voted to Mandate Medically Unnecessary and Invasive Transvaginal Ultrasounds Before Abortion. In 2012, Comstock voted in favor of House Bill 462 and Senate Bill 484 that would amend informed consent law to mandate transvaginal ultrasounds before an abortion. HB 462 was adopted 61 to 35 and SB 484 passed 65 to 32 with one abstention. [Washington Post2/28/12; HB 462, 2012 Session, 3/01/12; SB 484, 2012 Session, 2/22/12]
