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.

Or to punish those harlots who got pregnant while unmarried. I'd be guessing the latter myself.

Naturally of course they're not going to publish the father's details...

I've noticed this terrifying trend in the us. The GOP moderates have been replaced with radicals.Right now they are working on demonizing the gays. They've also been targeting woman's rights. One GOP politician has been quoted with "women shouldn't be allowed to vote". It's an underlying current in right wing politics that is slowly taking hold.

They'd love for this country to be uneducated, controlled in our homes, and poor. And women of course, barefoot and pregnant.

It's not all they do. Radical groups bomb clinics and advocate the assassination of abortion doctors - to the point where there's only one late-term abortion surgeon left operating in the entire country.

If this country were really serious about combating terrorism, they'd focus on all kinds terrorism, and not just the kind that involves religious and racial profiling.
