IMHO, this is sexual abuse.
President Obama has called Valencia College a ‘national model for women.’ But now the school has been hit with a federal lawsuit brought by two students that has put this Orlando, Florida, college under the microscope. In a lawsuit against Valencia College, two female students are alleging that invasive, humiliating and sometimes painful genital examinations were made mandatory in a sonography class. UPI writes:
“Valencia positioned these transvaginal probes as voluntary, but its actual policy and practice was that they were not,” according to the lawsuit, which also said college staff told students “they could find another school if they did not wish to be probed” after students complained.
The lawsuit provided a diagram of the procedure: 
The suit alleges that threats were made of “academic penalties” and future employment opportunity “blacklisting” over lack of “volunteering.” This is in addition to inappropriate comments made by college staff during the probing, according to My Fox Tampa Bay. NBC-2 details the comments:
“Defendant Ball’s comments can only be described as bizarre during some of these forced probing sessions,” the lawsuit states.
“She allegedly approached one student … during a probing session and stated (she) was ‘sexy’ and should be an ‘escort girl’ (prostitute).”
My Fox Tampa Bay notes that “anatomically correct simulators” were available for the class to use, as well as access to real patients at hospitals during clinical practice.

I just can’t believe what is happening in the United States of America these days. But, really, I can, I guess. While it is not the same kind of invasion, we had to take a sample of our blood in a Biology 101 lab and test it for what type it was. No if, ands, or buts. I finally mustered up the courage, but it took most of the afternoon. So I went for about 10 years thinking I was B+, only to find out when I was pregnant that I am A-. So that test was a bust. I have no idea what I could have possibly done wrong.

We did blood tests in bio too, but I think we did each other. I’d have a hard time pricking myself, but NO problem jabbing my seat mate. 🙂 B+ and A- are so different, I’d have to question the labels on the antigens, not your technique.

You’re right, Chrissy! It couldn’t have been my fault! I don’t remember too much about it except for stewing about it and the results.

Did the A- type cause you trouble later when it came time to have kids? We had issues because Gruntessa was negative and I was positive, which is the bad Rh-combo.

Us too. And dh is homozygous positive, so we not only had 3 positive babies, but I sensitized to Rh during my first pregnancy. My 2d was born with Rh disease. My 3d had it in utero, but recovered before birth, which her doctor (a specialist in high risk pregnancy) said, “You can call this a miracle if you want. I can’t account for it.” Yep, I want. That baby had soooo many people praying for her. Two entire churches took her on, one in Rochester, NY, and another in Japan!

A little bit of trouble, yes, but nothing like generations before me who didn’t have the Rhogam shot.

I was one of the statistics that led to the OBs deciding at risk women should have Rhogam during pregnancy. Few women sensitize until just after the birth, because pregnancy is supposed to turn off the mom’s immune system to anything from the baby. Some people like me … it doesn’t work right. I was already sensitized when my first was born.

That’s really rough. So, just wondering here… Basically everybody on this blog has Rh-incompatible but otherwise awesome marriages? What are the odds of that? We might have to rename the blog or something.

I’m not sure if I remember correctly but I think I had one shot after a miscarriage in 1979 but then in 1983 and 1987 I think I had it during pregnancy, too. And after. I don’t really know. I’m just glad that it was invented because 4 of my great-grandmother’s 8 children only lived about a year. They “couldn’t get nourishment” was the way her surviving children described it. All 4 of the surviving children were Rh negative. So I think the other 4 must have been positive. Too bad the shot didn’t exist then.
