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.

I thought Dems were opposed to legislation involving “the state getting between a doctor and women”?

As a retired Combat Gynecologist, I consider this proposed law a waste of time. The rapper’s lack of trust indicates his own lack of morals.
