On Friday night’s edition of “The Rachel Maddow Show,” host Rachel Maddow took a hard look at some of the draconian rape and abortion measures that could be enacted if Republican Governor John Kasich signs the state budget currently on his desk. Under new laws contained in the budget, abortion clinics would close, the terms “pregnancy” and “fetus” would be redefined and women would have to undergo mandatory ultrasound exams for abortions and even some types of contraception.

Maddow began the segment by skewering Congress for going on its July 4th holiday break a week before the holiday actually takes place.

“I want that job,” she said. “The House has gone home and Senate has gone home, not just for the weekend,” but until July 8.

Like what? An IUD? How crazy!
