Repost courtesy of the Daily Kos, Oklahoma Introduces Its Own Scarlet Letter.
Starting this November, every woman undergoing an abortion in the state of Oklahoma will have to provide information regarding her race, her age, her level of education, her relationship with the father, total number of previous pregnancies, etc. This information, although supposedly not connected to the woman's name, will then be posted on a public website.
The worst part is that this new law is supposedly designed "prevent abortions based on the gender of the fetus," which sounds like it is meant to protect baby girls, no?
Fortunately, pro-choice advocates across the country are already fighting back.
Way to go, Oklahoma. I'm never watching your crappy musical ever again. :P
