Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin signed a bill Wednesday requiring women to wait three days (72 hours, to be exact) before getting an abortion. Oklahoma is the fourth such state to do so and Fallin, a Republican, rushed to relay all the benefits of the law for women across the state. Rick Green reports:
“This legislation will help women get the information they need before making a decision they can’t take back,” said Fallin. “It will allow for more time to consider medical risks as well as explore alternatives to abortion, such as adoption.”
In reality, it's just one more opportunity for the government to shame women for another few days.
Oklahoma state law already requires doctors to inform women about the age of the fetus, the potential risks of the procedure, and the ability to have an ultrasound and monitor the heart. But the bill's sponsor, Rep. Lisa Billy stressed how important it is for women to be educated about the process.
“I just think before you have any kind of surgery you need to have all the information in your hand before you make that irrevocable decision,” Billy said.
And then she revealed the real intent of the bill.
“I'm very pro-life. Anytime a woman makes a decision, she needs to have all that information in her hand prior to making a decision that will take the life of an unborn, separate, unique human being from her.”
Oh, so it's not about having all the information. It's really about the government dictating to women exactly when they're informed enough to make their own decision.
another shameless republican female leading the war against her gender the information has been around any doctor who fails to inform women are derelict and should be sued for malfeasance so again republicans bring up the old and not even blowing the dust off. what she thinks is she had better stick with the party line and fight the bad fight or things can happen to her career.
you really can't lay all blame on republicans did i say that? they have been very successful at fooling people the gullible ones keep electing them on the same platform that a reasonable person would think they don't know what that platform is because it is contrary to their health and well being voting against their interest is looked forward to with cheers and jeers to those who do inspite of them have their interest at heart, they appear not to see that eiter.
