Oklahoma passes newer strict abortion laws

[PeppyGPhiB]

So what happens if a woman decides to have an abortion very early on in the pregnancy, as in before the limbs and organs are distinguishable?

As for the second piece of legislation...I hope those state legislators are ready to pass the hat, because there are going to be some more kids in state custody or on state assistance due to medical bills.

Seriously, do people (include politicians) even think about the consequences of their actions anymore? Repeat after me: For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction!

I'm fairly close to the Oklahoma legislature. Lots of friends work in and around that body. I'm less than a mile away from the state capitol building as I type this. I can tell you with certainty that most Oklahoma legislators are complete morons. It's embarrassing.

Can I just tell you how glad I am that I don't live in Oklahoma???

There is also no exemption for rape victims. Oh, you were raped and you got pregnant as a result and you want to abort? Too bad, you'll still have to get an ultrasound (likely a transvag) and sit through a lecture on how your "baby" is sooo beautiful. It must feel like being raped all over again.

No kidding. Like at 6 weeks are they going to point out the tail? Is that considered a limb?

Wait wait wait. So is this just for women considering abortion or for all women? Because that sounds like any dcotr who finds that a fetus has a birth defect doesn't have to tell ANY expecting parent---which sounds dumb as hell in my head and I really need someone to confirm that that's what I just read. I'm not even commenting on the rest until I can wrap my mind around that.

This is the first thing I thought of when I heard of the new laws.
