Oklahoma passes bill making performing abortions a felony

25. This Is How Stupid These Oklahoma Republicans REALLY Are

A lot of times, State governments will try to "make a statement" by voting to pass a law that flies directly in the face of established law. They know it will never stand up to Supreme Court scrutiny, but they usually try to word it in such a way that it only affects poor people and/or people who otherwise wouldn't have the wherewithal (financial or otherwise) to fight it all the way up to the Supreme Court.

This law targets DOCTORS. The ONE class of people who they KNOW will have the money and the backbone to fight it for as long as it takes (and to get the REALLY good lawyers on their side too). These Oklahoma Republican idiots would have been better off writing the bill so it punished the WOMEN who had the abortions. At least then they could hope that most of them wouldn't have the money to fight it, and the law would stand for a while.

And on a side note, every time I hear about Republicans bending over backwards to make abortion legal again, and to make gay marriage illegal, and to poke their grimy fingers into public restrooms, all I can think is.........this is the Party that claims to want to keep government OUT of your lives.
