If you can't legally stop women from having abortions, all you can do is harass and intimidate them. Oklahoma's new law is an example. It requires physicians to collect extensive personal details from women seeking abortions - details which will be posted on the Web, making it possible for individual women to be identified. The law has been put on hold by a judge and is being challenged by the Center for Reproductive Rights.

The Senator behind the law says the info is needed to help prevent unwanted pregnancies. I can save him the quarter mill: quit with the useless abstinence-only education, and make sex education mandatory in Oklahoma schools, including education about contraception.

Sharp point. Here's the Bill. No personal data is collected on the father, though some of the questions touch on him, such as when the woman must state why she is having the abortion, and whether her pregnancy is the result of rape or incest.

when the woman must state why she is having the abortion

I take it the option "none of your fucking business" isn't given?

You are correct in that assumption.
