Not that I have issues, or I'm fed up, or anything.

Add Oklahoma to the list of mudskippers pushing this crap on its citizens. Does anyone know a petition we can sign or a site for local protest?

A fresh update that mentions Kansas's "lie to your patients" provision and sadly adds Pennsylvania to the roll of insane states.
I have to say, I think doctors could lose their medical licenses for withholding or making up information for patients. But I never thought we'd come to this debate, so what do I know?

I think I was nine.
The ensuing years have done nothing to make me revise my opinion that many of our elected officials are self-serving morons in a lot of ways.
Why is it always the 'woman's fault' because it is. It really is and I'm really fucking tired of living in this misogynistic world.

I know. I keep clinging to my girlish illusions.
That's so silly! Plus, so difficult,
It is, but ol' hillbilly that I am, I just keep after it.
Gotta make sure you drag HER in for questioning.
It was probably really an unnecessary abortion anyway. /sarcasm.
I shoulda known you would have the coolest unicorn icon EVER.
I am getting so sick of the war on women being perpetuated by mainly white, middle to upper class, conservative, Christian politicians. They need to get their noses and legislation the heck out of my uterus and start worrying about the things that really need to be fixed. You know-the things they screwed up in the first place. Like the economy, education, fixing the tax code, etc-or what you said.
Thanks!

The image? Priceless. Plus, I'm not using mine for anything, so if there was any chance that this could actually happen, I'd volunteer it.
I would love to collect a lot of old shoes, slap a lot of stickers on the soles that say "It's still the economy, stupid," and start throwing them at these stuffed shirts.
WHAT??? :-o
(a) Informed consent should surely be a mandatory aspect of *all* examinations and procedures; (b) How is that anything other than sexual assault with a foreign object?? Oh, right, if the law says it's OK then - WHAT??????? :-O
That is just nauseating legislation all around.
The argument goes like this: women won't have abortions if they are forced to view a sonogram of their embryo. (apparently this isn't true. but hey, if it makes the women feel BAD about the abortions they have, it helps the anti choice lobby).
Therefore, the law REQUIRES that pregnant women must be forced to view a sonogram of the embryo they'd like to abort. Since most abortions occur before 13 weeks, this means the only way to do a sonogram is trans-vaginally (since a stomach sonogram won't show up that early on).
Pretty certain that they can achieve much the same thing with drawings/stock photos/models (if the goal is to ensure that women understand what it is that's being aborted, probably better - I'd imagine that they can show the path of development in much better detail using those methods), and that the probe just adds "physical trauma" to the stresses of having to make the decision :-/
Bah :-/
It's just disgusting.
Petition signed.
