I’m assuming the “ways to avoid abortion” do NOT include “use birth control”.

Example #26,583,496,809,371 of You Can’t Make This Shit Up.

The State Board of Health on Tuesday approved regulations requiring posting of the signs in public bathrooms at hospitals, nursing homes, restaurants and public schools …

Nursing homes? NURSING HOMES? NURSING HOMES?

I sure this woman doesn’t believe in helping poor pregnant women with food stamps or healthcare. Or God forbid when the baby is born, healthcare and food for the child. Ugh. I hate Republicans.

I’m also sure Ann doesn’t believe in mentioning the abortion she had during her second year at OSU.

Surprised she didn’t find a way to sneak some kind of anti-transgender thing in there as well–Tea Party Hat Trick!

I’m surprised the suggested signs didn’t read ‘wash hands before ripping the baby from the womb’.

I was talking to a woman from Oklahoma last night. She is a teacher who was bemoaning the low pay available to Oklahoma, and had chosen to teach in another state. Checking a recent NEA report, Oklahoma ranks 48th in teacher pay and has for sometime… A comparison of the legislature’s relative disregard for public education against the fussing and fuming over where the anti-abortion signs should be, and at what cost to the restaurant industry, shows a state with no vision at all. What an embarrassment to the Founders of this country these “lawmakers” are! Yet, they are so smug that they can’t see how foolish they are.

Well, that’s the secret–just portray any measure as an unfair burden on business and the Goppers jump back like it’s a red hot stove.

Are they also planning a law that will require the posting of information regarding sex education and family planning, so abortions can be reduced?

““We don’t have any concern about the information they’re trying to get out to women about their babies and their pregnancy. This is just the wrong way to do it,” Jim Hooper, president of the Oklahoma Restaurant Association, said on Monday before the regulations were approved.”

Republicans are anti-abortion … so long as it’s free. Their true god always shines through, though.

We should try a campaign describing how much a kid costs, and how that’s money that would otherwise go to small businesses or something. The GOP would probably try to mandate abortions if they saw a profit in it.

"The provision for the signs was tucked into a law that the Legislature passed this year that requires the state to develop informational material “for the purpose of achieving an abortion-free society.”

If this law was so phucking important why was it slid in another bill? Why couldn’t it “stand on its own” and be passed that way?
