ridiculous place in the 21st century.

For the moment. It's almost a minute to minute battle in these insane times.

Maybe the OK Legislature should have chosen to use funds to set up an Ultrasound station near each Reproductive Rights provider so that the women have the choice to get more information about the fetus.

It's pretty much a given at this point that we will have a personhood amendment on the ballot in November. Even the State Medical Association is against it, because they're afraid it will criminalize in-vitro fertilization, etc., as well as birth control and the morning after pill.

Between all this and the Governor and the Legislature trying to eliminate the state income tax, everyone in Oklahoma is under attack right now--unless you're a billionaire.

Thanks for the thread, MindMover.

It wouldn't have passed the smell test, either.

We're winning the GOP's war on women.

Why the Hell not in Texas?

We need some women in Texas to bring lawsuits against the state of Texas, and Rick Perry, in the next few months. For rape.

More and more people, even in Texas, are calling the inserted, trans-vaginal sonogram, "rape with a foreign object," under duress. If a woman does not want such a thing, it is legally rape.

Unfortunately, the law has passed one appeal to - a southern - Federal appeals court in Louisiana. But with luck? A really devatating lawsuit or appeal will surface in a few months; just in time to impact the election. With highly-publicized statements to the effect that Texas, Rick Perry, and the Republican Party, are literally guilty of rape: the "legally" coerced insertion of a foreign object into the sexual organ of an unwilling woman.

Doonsbury lampooned this a week or two ago; but it's not funny. I'm hoping someone comes forward in the next month or two, and makes a serious case of it.

If you are a woman getting an abortion in the state of Texas in the next month or two or three? Consider going to the Democratic Party; and letting them know you want to make a legal case out of it. Tell them you are unwilling; the waiver is coerced. And therefore? It is rape. And you want to take Texas to court.

could learn alot from this judge if they would just pull their heads out of their ass.

this is just to get to the Supremes...that is what all these laws are about, having the Supremes tear down Roe v Wade. The court is finally in their favor and they are salivating at getting to court where they can overturn Roe v Wade...just watch.

Texas and Pennsylvania, you're next!

...and the freak show that is going on there.

The US's?

Or Oklahoma's?

From the reasoning, I suspect the latter. The article didn't make that clear.

This mandate is far more severe and intrusive than the one requiring everyone be a part of the Health Insurance solution.
