T.I.'s controversial comments spark NY bill to end virginity tests
T.I. performs onstage at 2016 Many Rivers to Cross Festival at Bouckaert Farm on Oct. 1, 2016 in Fairburn, Ga.
Her bill has attracted support from three Democratic lawmakers, and Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration officials called the practice “disturbing.” Solages said no other states have such bans. Experts say such testing is painful and that there’s no evidence such testing shows whether a woman or girl has had vaginal intercourse.
“It’s of course not only impossible to tell for sure, but also a violation of woman’s rights,” said retired obstetrician-gynecologist Jaana Rehnstorm, who is the founder and president of gender equality non-profit The Kota Alliance. “I think unfortunately, if you ban it or if you criminalize it, it will drive it underground,” she said.
