A call to action: BOYCOTT OKLAHOMA FOR SENDING WOMEN BACK INTO THE KITCHEN BAREFOOT AND PREGNANT.
   

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

On Nov. 1, a law in Oklahoma will go into effect that will collect personal details about every single abortion performed in the state and post them on a public website. Implementing the measure will “cost $281,285 the first year and $256,285 each subsequent year.” Here are the first eight questions that women will have to reveal:

1. Date of abortion
2. County in which abortion performed
3. Age of mother
4. Marital status of mother
(married, divorced, separated, widowed, or never married)
5. Race of mother
6. Years of education of mother
(specify highest year completed)
7. State or foreign country of residence of mother
8. Total number of previous pregnancies of the mother
Live Births
Miscarriages
Induced Abortions

Although the questionnaire does not ask for name, address, or “any information specifically identifying the patient,” as Feminists for Choice points out, these eight questions could easily be used to identify a woman in a small community. “They’re really just trying to frighten women out of having abortions,” Keri Parks, director of external affairs at Planned Parenthood of Central Oklahoma, said. The Center for Reproductive Rights is challenging the law, arguing that “it violates the Oklahoma Constitution because it ‘covers more than one subject’ — a challenge that previously worked to strike down an abortion ultrasound law.”

.................................

I can only hope this is struck down in federal court and struck down soon.

This is a blatant violation of privacy.

Until it is struck down, we need a nationwide boycott of Oklahoma.

Sexism and male ownership of women is alive and well and written into state law in the state of Okla****inghoma.
DUAC , DUAC,  DUAC !!! 111 0n3 eleventy !!

I see nothing that will identify a woman in that list of questions.  OTOH, there are plenty of questions that the census is asking that are none of their  :censored: business.

1. What does Oklahoma produce that someone in California could boycott?
   
Serious question.

2. I would have thought that all this information would already be available.
   
Though not necessarily on a website.

It's bait. All it is is statistical information and any attempt to oppose it will be portrayed as a campaign against the truth by people who fear the truth. Attack it on cost only.

Not bait, but close.  It will help to provide information on how the DimRats like to kill off certain types of folks.

23. A boycott is a broad-brush weapon.   
   
But they can be very effective: see South Africa.

And how did that turn out, now that black people are in charge there? :uhsure:

1% because of fetal abnormalities;

3% due to the mother's health problems.

 Edited on Sun Oct-11-09 11:40 AM by Ilsa

48. Keep fighting the good fight!!
 

The anti-red state bigots won't ever change their stripes. They'd rather sit around on their butts & post obnoxious & offensive bullshit about those of us who live in red states who actually have to FIGHT for progress. Don't ask them for any kind of support (financial, moral, boots on the ground) because they won't give it.

I should know, I'm from Texas. We get this shit every single day, & RARELY get any kind of support from the High Holy Blue Staters. But they'll jump on ANY opportunity to bash us.
