I am increasingly furious that the same demographic who insist on this shit is the same demographic that wants decreased funding for early childcare assistance in any and all forms. They care about the living until they can breathe on their own. After that, it's a big "FUCK YOU!"
A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Kinda like a prolife governor with a pregnant teenage daughter slashing funding for homes for unwed mothers? Yeah, it's a lot like that.

Good point, meara. I think that information should be used to help girls and women make responsible, healthy choices, and stats and research that would be gathered with respect towards privacy (and, yo, medical ethics) is just fine. Let's work towards making contraception healthier, more user-friendly and safe; let's focus on education and decision-making; let's work towards empowering women and men, girls and boys, on being healthy and happy.
This legislation does NOT work towards that end.

Sorry for all of the swearing. Well, I am not sorry, but if it's uncool to swear this much on b.org, I trust you'll tell me.

So if the lawmakers in OK and AZ got together, would they still want every undocumented pregnant person to keep her baby? And have it born on American soil?

I find the second law, the one protecting doctors who decide to withhold information about the fetus, to be a much bigger problem. I mean, would they consider it at all appropriate for a doctor to do in other circumstances? To not inform a patient of the risks of surgery, or withhold information regarding the patient's diagnosis?
ABSOLUTELY THIS.
The problem with the first measure isn't the ultrasound itself - I assume most doctors would want to do one anyway, just to confirm pregnancy before scheduling surgery - it's the mandatory paternalistic lecture afterwards. Why don't they just write it so the law says "AND HENCEFORTH ALL OB/GYNS MUST ACT LIKE POMPOUS ASSHATS WHO CHOSE THEIR PROFESSION BECAUSE THEY HATE WOMEN ALL THE TIME."?

Sorry for all of the swearing.
HA! I had to scroll back to see if I'd missed something - two fucks in as many posts didn't even register as swearing to me. I blame Aimee and Joe. And Allyson.
