TVP's are pretty normal medical procedures - no risks involved, according to the NIH.


Right, but that's not the issue. The question is should an invasive and unnecessary procedure be required (!) by legislative fiat rather than by a person's physician. In this particular reference, all medical opinion says there's absolutely no necessity for it, that it's purely political and, essentially, punitive.

I hope we don't get into a kerfuffle on this, but it seemed important to make that point as a follow-up.
