FTFA: "The state of Oklahoma legislature passed a law currently that allows an abortion patient's information as to why they chose to have the procedure to posted on the internet, according to NPR News."

Is there any way to add a shiatload of abortions, with the reason being "[insert politician's name who voted for it here] paid me money to not have our secret lovechild, and would be horribly embarrassed if this information were made public"?

Cause that would rock.

...well, with a state that has this pic on their official state webpage, guess one can't expect much class.

Why not quit beating about the bush and call it the "dirty, filthy sluts who hate the baby Jesus" list. You know you want to, Republicans.

The Stealth Hippopotamus: it's just a medical procedure that should carry little to no social stigma. I dont see why you wouldn't mind the world knowing about it.

Should.

47. Stated Reason for Elective Procedure: LIZARD PEOPLE

impaler: Period. End of story.

Well, it certainly would make the whole thing moot.

The Stealth Hippopotamus: it's just a medical procedure that should carry little to no social stigma. I dont see why you wouldn't mind the world knowing about it.

It carries little social stigma...so people should be forced to take a survey and have their answers posted on the internet...but since it carries little social stigma they shouldn't care that much about it.

I must say, if you're going to argue that it carries little social stigma, taking the position that required surveys should be posted on the internet is an odd side of the argument.

I can't think of Oklahoma without thinking of Mindy.

/please call me mindy. I'll save you.

I like the "it was so and so politician's child...he's making me get one" response. I'm sure the doctors performing the procedure aren't too pleased about the law either, so convincing them that the answer is acceptable shouldn't be much trouble.

"The state of Oklahoma legislature passed a law currently that allows an abortion patient's information as to why they chose to have the procedure to posted on the internet, according to NPR News."

Let me restate: "ACCORDING TO NPR NEWS".
In other words, more likely than not, none of this is true.

/ If only there was some way the taxpayers could subsidize a "news" organization.

I have the right to kill people who murder babies. Knowing their names will make things much easier.

The women of Oklahoma should take this bill for what it is - government-issued permission to massively troll anti-abortion nutters, who will have no way of responding! Bwahahaahah!

The answer should always be...

"Because James Inhofe is the father."

Too obvious, you need to be more subtle. There are people who do think just that but I doubt you're one of them.

Damn, as bad as I am embarrassed to be an Oklahoma a the moment, the fact that no names will be included in the info collected seems to have completely escaped your grasp.

Calmamity: Why do Republicans hate women and healthy babies?

Because if they're never born, you can't dump them into the foster care system where they'll grow up to be a bunch of thievin', murderin' social deviants. Deviants that deserve nothing less than a hangman's noose, the pummel of a firing squad or a killer cocktail of a doctor's needle.

Basically, Republicans just like them to ripen before they kill 'em.

Seriously. I don't really spend too much time in forums where people spout out their "opinion" that NPR is not a real news source, but instead some sort of government conspiracy lie machine, so this comment came to me as though I was reading the words of a man who has written a manifesto on the walls of his apartment in his own feces.

Is this multiple choice or essay? Can women simply write "None of your farking business" after each question?

And what happens if she won't fill out a survey? Abortion denied? Jail time?

How about a pregnant woman in a car accident? The husband is told that their only chance to save his wife is to abort. Is he then told, "And we'll begin the procedure just as soon as you fill out our oppressively long survey"?

Hey did Obama ever put a hex on the Patriot Act? Oh he didn't? Then carry on.

Virtue: So if you don't have to register to exercise your constitutionally protected right to have an abortion why do I have to register my constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms?

Because you can't hold up a bank with a double-barreled baby?

/I'm kidding, I agree with you.

YOU HAVE NEVER LISTENED TO THAT farkING STATION. SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH. I listen to NPR because of current world news that has NOTHING TO DO WITH POLITICS. Yeah, I know, Nancy Pelosi blah blah blah.

Nah. I get all my news from NPR and PBS. If the government doesn't want me to know it - then I don't want to know it!

We still have a high percentage of husbands that rape their wives in this state. If you're raping her to impregnate her so she will be forced to stay with you because she can't afford to be on her own if she's knocked up, you definitely don't want abortions to be legal, not to mention when she fills that survey out & she doesn't put that you raped her on there as a reason for the abortion, she'll never be able to claim that you did later. In Oklahoma, many, many, many men still view women as property. Not all. Just many.

Calmamity: Why do Republicans hate women and healthy babies?

Why do Republicans not give a shiat about them after the baby is born?

If no one grew up to be a criminal, who would fill up the prisons?

Duh!

Theaetetus: lajimi: Just lie your ass off on the survey if you don't like the law. It won't take all that long for the courts to knock this law down anyhow. Then the rednecks can cry about "activist judges legislating from the bench" and maybe two or three of them will even know what that means.

The problem isn't the "reasons" section... It's the "age", "race", "zip code" section. With those three pieces of data, in a small town, you can figure out exactly who had an abortion, in violation of HIPAA.
Also, why is this a big deal? Because some uber-religious evangelical parents will find out that their precious teenage angel had an abortion, and will kick her out of the house. Because some girl who has an abortion will end up with her picture posted on every telephone pole with a slogan of "baby killer". Because some guy will find out his girlfriend had an abortion, figure she must have been cheating on him, and will kill her. That's why.

Don't forget occupation & salary. That is also on the "survey".

What's the deal with people being anti-abortion, anyway? I mean, you don't get a soul until you're one year old. Or six months, I forget...
