Feminist Majority Foundation reports on a positive development in a case of true over the top sicko right wing Republican offensive crapola. A law had been passed in the somewhat backwards state of Oklahoma requiring that prior to an abortion, the woman be subjected to a subjective description of her embryo/fetus by a doctor, based on an ultrasound.
Unfortunately, the law was struck down for good legal reasons but for irrelevant social reasons. Similar to a bill passed here in Minnesota a few years ago allowing any bozo to carry a gun any time and anywhere, this bill had multiple provisions, which is against the constitution in Oklahoma (and Minnesota). Most likely, the creepy ultrasound description law will be back, will be passed, and will not be so easy to get rid of in the future

Thank God! I remember when that bill was passed. A girl in my dorm was planning to get all of us to call our reps and ask to contest the bill, but it was passed before we got a chance.
I’m glad someone’s doing something right.
