The Oklahoma Supreme Court denied an amicus brief associated with SB 1878, reaffirming that the SB 1878 bill was unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court of the State of Oklahoma would like Legislators to know that they are, "growing weary of adminishing the legislature for so flagrantly violating the terms of the Oklahoma Constitution. It is a waste of time for The Legislature and the Court, and a waste of the taxpayer's money."
We're pretty weary too, now if only the anti-choicers would actually pay attention to he constitution...

Anti-choice bill number three passes the house
HB 2780 by Representative Lisa Billy passed the house yesterday, 87 to 7. This bill would require an abortion provider (which there are only three in the state) to peform an ultrasound one hour before an abortion. The bill also states the provider has to explain to the patient what is on the screen which the patient has the option "to avert her eyes". Not to mention the ultrasound option could be a transvaginal if the picture is clearer...which those aren't exactly a walk in the park anyway.
Oklahoma anti-choice legislators want to make sure us stupid Oklahoma women know exactly what's going on with our body.
Hmm. Would you like to track when were ovulating too? Maybe create a website called www.Oklahomawomenperiodtracker.com?
Please call your senator and ask them to VOTE NO on the following bills:
HB 2780- Ultrasound one hour prior to an abortion
HB 2656 - states if a doctor your seeing doesn't have to tell you the condition of the fetus if he thinks you'll terminate the pregnancy;
HB 3075 - Mandating abortion providers have a sign posted in each clinic which states "you may not be coerced into having an abortion."

Bills to be heard today
The Senate Health and Human Services Committee will be hearing four anti-choice bills today after the session ends. Those bills being heard include:
SB 1890 - Prohibiting abortion based on sex selection(no proof this is happening)
SB 1891 - Freedom of Conscience Act (infringes on patient rights)
SB 1902 - Regulation of RU486 (allows father of fetus to sue abortion provider)
SB 2216 - Statistical Reporting of Abortion Act (would cost the state $250,000 a year and possibly, in rural communities, one could deduce who had an abortion.
These are the same bills which were rolled in HB 1595 last year and are currently being challenged in court.
Click here to find out who is on the Senate Health and Human Services committee and ask them to vote no today on these bills. Only information and prevention are effective in reducing abortion not oppressive restrictions by politicians!
