New Oklahoma law will publicy post details of women’s abortions online.

Oklahoma is SO not OK, so now are they going to post everyones Medical records online? What about Rape victims.. posting those? What has this world become, i wonder sometimes.

Omg, the state of Oklahoma should be sued. This is so wrong!

Ok A: I am Pro-choice
That being said I see nothing in that list of questions that is not related to statistical information or that only has use for the anti-choice agenda. This data can help identify areas where women are in need of more education or contraceptive availability and pregnancy health options. It would not hurt to look at creating or increasing the assistance to single, low income mothers or families so that they can have a bit more hope of giving a child they keep a good and decent upbringing. My time in poverty has show me that the greatest number of abortions by poverty stricken women are due to the realization that they have nothing of monetary value to offer their children and there for choose not to inflict that life on them.

Well, the problematic nature of this stems from the fact that it reduces the immediate privacy of the individual. I'm thinking that a "hold of data release" for say 5 or 6 years, might serve as adequate " personal insulation' while still collecting valuable data of social trends and factors. Just a thought.As I understand it, no names,addresses are involved. ( Hell, make it 10 years,...)

What's next, a public list of people who didn't go to church last Sunday?

all i can say is WOW

"Wow!!! The sadism exploitation of women towards their own ovary and fetus inside their womb.... this will open the minds of many people that a piece of living creature inside the womb is known as a lovable creature.

Unless the father of the fetus is a criminal."-JB

The Constitution does not specifically mention a right to privacy. However, Supreme Court decisions over the years have established that the right to privacy is a basic human right, and as such is protected by virtue of the 9th Amendment. The right to privacy has come to the public's attention via several controversial Supreme Court rulings, including several dealing with contraception (the Griswold and Eisenstadt cases), interracial marriage (the Loving case), and abortion (the well-known Roe v Wade case). In addition, it is said that a right to privacy is inherent in many of the amendments in the Bill of Rights, such as the 3rd, the 4th's search and seizure limits, and the 5th's self-incrimination limit.

9th Amendment to the United States Constitution; "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

All that being said, I don't condone that anyone ever get an abortion nor would I ever suggest to someone they should receive an abortion EXCEPT in the worst of circumstances, but no matter what I believe on abortion, it's not my call to make. Your body, your rights. It took me a long while to come to terms with that. Now just because the Constitution doesn't specifically state a right to privacy doesn't mean it does not exist. The right to privacy is very real and this legislation certainly violates that right.

Why should any women have to give out personal information like years of education, marital status, and the date you received an abortion? What's country in which abortion preformed got to do with preventing pregnancies and other abortions?

just not cool doesn't it violate the doctor patient confidently. SUUUUUUUE!! its the american dream
haha

There's nothing personal about this, if anything this is good because it statistically lets us know which women are more prone to abortions and why.
This is a simple questionnaire and not their life story, and if it can help us prevent women from getting pregnant or going through abortion than why not?

seriously, who the fuck would allow this to be passed???

pretty sickening, we don't need these kind of changes to our laws.

Ever heard of TMI? Why is this anyone business again?

This is sick. Land of the free my ass.

Discriminatory behaviours take many forms, but they all involve some form of exclusion or rejection. A lot of people kick on the labeling theory and take a stand against stereotypes on this particular blog list... Certainly this is wrong, repulsive, and truly upsetting.

What I find nearly as unsettling is the extreme bias placed on American citizens by other Americans. If we are going to be "Indivisable" as a nation, why pass judgements on states and their people as a whole? For that matter the same statement applies to those people who would place the same bias on other nations and their people. I have only met two people who are in favor of this law or the passing of the previous abortion law in Oklahoma. I believe a tiny minority is being allowed to speak for the multitudes of others who disagree... not like that's anything new.

Make the women disclose the father's full name. These legislators would be tripping over themselves trying to cancel the law.

I think collecting this info is one thing; disseminating it publically another. In small communities, this can indeed identify the person. There is no legal reason this needs to be done. And that makes this an attempt to influence; embarrass after the fact or to pursuede a lady with an unwanted pregnancy to avoid abortion.

This is not the function of govt. This is bullshit. Here's hoping they get enough lawsuits as a result to make their investment look little.

The thing that gets me is, "What's the point?" Not to mention that after it goes on, what in hell good is this data going to do them? If they manage to poinpoint socially where this problem is coming from, what good does that do? The only possible use I can see for this is to somehow discriminate against those folks that take the procedure.

I hope they lose their socks in the court. This deserves it.

Im back on this one, the CDC has the same stats online now, why pay for this?

Can I just say that no woman would put herself through the emotional and physical trauma of abortion if it were not necessary. It would be one of the hardest decisions of your life to have an abortion, and it would not be made without a huge amount of deliberation. Women have been suppressed for millenia, and they should have the right to their own bodies. The right to choose is what I think makes us free, and women should be able to decide whether they are able to support children before having them. Give women the right to live their lives!

This shows how Oklahoma is more than geographically next to Texas. It's also the home of Senator's Jim Inholf and Tom Colbert. Need I say more?

I guess that's why the the state motto is "Oklahoma is Okay", because nobody who lives there can think beyond that. The state flower is probably a rock.

is this a joke? you can't make women do this?? and hell WHO is footing the 200k bill for this exactly???

May this backfire big time.

What do you expect from a state where only 25% of the high school students can name the first president or where 44% is passing on a math test

These things are a private matter and for it to be put on the internet like a scarlet letter is just wrong. These girls don't need the added distain even if their names are not shown. It's nobody business but theirs.

I don't care what they call it this is wrong. Medical records with or without names are confidential.

this is ridiculous, hopefully it will do nothing to benefit the person starting these profiles if they start that they should start a site for men who have sexually transmitted diseases... or is this info already on the internet??

I cant even imagine what kind of fools would vote these idiots in to office here in Texas cornyn is running ads saying he is protecting seniors Medicare from all bickering in congress he is a damn lier just like these fools in Okl
I have no respect for these bible thumping ass holes if they want to live in a theoretic nation Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia are where they should go live

What is going on with the proliferation of stupidity in this country? Has there been some kind of neural disorder that has gone viral? These bible belt states are unbelievable in their religious obsessions.

"It's the state you love to hate!!!"

I can't leave it fast enough...

this is why im not a woman in Oklahoma.

While it does suck it would be interesting to see the data collected.

I cant even fathom what the point is...

This is and outright violation of ones right to privacy. It will be stuck down by the superior court without a doubt. Oklahoma is one of the most backward states in the United States, another state with dismal high school graduation rates and college grads. Stupid is as stupid does Forrest Gump.
Oh no I forgot Texas

tommic

WTF?????????

All kinds of lawsuits will follow. This is a medical procedure that abides by a patient-doctor confidentiality agreement. These people are total idiots!

We have Laws against this kind of shit. How dare they think that you could try to hummilate a woman out of an abortion. This is just sick. Keep the goverment out of womans uterus. WE HAVE RITES!

this is disgusting and why im glad i dont live in or near the bible belt.

right to chose ftw.

Lets hope the names get out. So they can get $250,000 each time. (HIPPA laws)

umm right to privacy?

i am all for women having the right to choose, it should be discouraged as much as possible and taken case by case. but seriously if they choose to let them, it is their damn body and they have to live with the knowledge of what they have done. Is that not what freedom really is, the freedom to choose what goes into your body and what happens to it.

As for the fetus, it was going to die some day anywho, now or 60 years from now, death would win sooner or later. And for you religious nut bags out there, how do you know this is not your sky daddy’s plan, he may want the “soul” today maybe he needs it for something. Like another layer of your delusions.

none of us have a right to judge or know why it is between the person, their partner if there is one and the doctor. i just hope they have someone there to support them no matter what they choose rather then a bunch of people who want to persecute them

i can see the reproductive center wining the challenge just b/c this could be easy marks for id fraud. next to giving too much of this persons private life being exposed. im against most aboritions except for when it comes to cases of rape and incest.
