Oklahoma Rape by Sonic Transducer Law gets Blocked

Paper Chase: Oklahoma court extends bar
against law requiring pre-abortion ultrasounds

Readers,

The article linked below is a good summary of the history of HB 2780, the bill passed earlier this year. It includes a look at a similar bill that was vetoed and upheld in Florida.

Embedded links will direct you to the legal papers and texts of the items discussed.

Every doctor should be protesting this bill as it seems to me the Legislature is trying to practice medicine without a license, intruding on the training and professional prerogatives of licensed physicians.

In addition, no man's civil rights are subjected to any scrutiny in regard to his health care choices when he seeks professional medical advice as women's civil rights are for women with the law now under observation.

Both Houses of the Oklahoma Legislature have a GOPer majority that continually preaches about the need for less government intrusion in the private lives of citizens. Sadly, there were some Democrats who voted for this bill and voted to override the Governor's veto. They should change their political party registration.

But, guess what? Women are citizens too--not chattel, not indentured servants. They pay taxes and they vote.
