Sometimes I have a love-hate relationship with my home state. The land is beautiful, the people are friendly, but there is no disguising it that Oklahoma has some issues with women, a lot of issues actually, but specifically I am just going to address the issues with women.
For the past few years, there have been many attempts to pass extremely restrictive, and invasive laws against women with regards to reproductive rights, specifically access abortion and birth control. Sadly, many of those ideas seem to originate from my state.
Some of my favorites: The attempt to remove informed consent from female patients, across the board, where pregnancy is involved. Basically if the doctor believes that information about your pregnancy, such as adverse test results, might cause you to decide to abort, then the doctor can legally withhold that information without fear of a future malpractice suit.
But there is more. Follow me through the orange phallic portal if this interests you.
