Provisions are struck down that would have required every patient seeking an abortion to receive an ultrasound and a doctor's description of the fetus.

That should make the left wingers very happy. Knowledge makes for clearer decisions and they will not tolerate that!

Good it sounded like a horrible law and a waste of money to require an ultrasound to someone wanting an abortion.

No, adults can make decisions on their own, and the law violated the state Constitution's "single-subject" rule.

The title of the thread only tells half the story. Apparently a big portion of the ruling centered on the legislation covering more than one subject.

"Oklahoma County District Judge Vicki Robertson said the law violated constitutional requirements that a legislative measure deal only with one subject. She did not rule on the validity of the ultrasound provisions."

This makes me happy! There should be NOTHING standing between a woman and an abortion if she wants one

Education about possible side effects, yes, just like with any medical procedure; but "education" that forces doctors to describe the fetus and show the woman an ultrasound? No.

Most of the time women are lied to and are told the fetus can feel pain.
