New Oklahoma Abortion Law Requires SonogramPosted on Apr 29, 2010
Even in cases of sexual abuse or rape, a strict abortion law enacted Tuesday in Oklahoma requires women to undergo a sonogram, during which the doctor has to turn the screen to face the patient and give her fetal development details. The new law is, unsurprisingly, being contested by local and national groups. —KA

I wrote this poem two years ago. I thought it would lose relevance and that we would not still be fighting this but apparently not. I live in Oklahoma and have also survived a rape and an abortion. This is for our legislators:

To all the Repugnant Republican who decided to practice medicine without a license: The party of total government intrusion on the right’s of womens bodies,whom BTW are not recognized as people, but rather as property or your reproductive system is, may someone shove those wands up yours.
This is a sick minded person who decided to come up with this idea. It is none of these politicians damned business to override a doctors medical training or a woman’s privacy in such a manner. These over paid parasites depravity has no boundaries.
Abortion is legal, this type of harassment has to stop. The fact that repugs continue to give a fetus more right’s that the host carrying it, that once it is born have no concern whether it has medical coverage and in many cases want to then deny the same fetus they claim to “love” any of the necessities of survival after it arrives as a living, breathing, person. Talk about hypocrisy.
By forcing a woman to have a vaginal probe ultrasound, it is equal to rape with a foreign object. There really is little difference between the two. The majority of women already have made an informed, knowledgeable decision before having an abortion. No one wakes up one day and says “I think I will have an abortion today.”
What must people in other countries think of us? For a country that claims freedom for its people and less government intrusion,it forgot the disclaimer “unless you are a woman.” What is more intrusive than this latest piece of lop sided legislation. If life is as important as these repukes say it is, then stop all the wars that America is fighting and killing in first and bring back some of the jobs for the people to be able to support all of these forced servitude babies with, that should be the top priority and not more babies people cannot afford.

I thought the right-wingers didn’t want government controlled healthcare. So, we’re mandating that our doctors coerce a rape victim’s moral and ethical judgement? Nice, and I suppose they don’t want their citizens detained on the street by big-government should they happen to look “foreign.”

The medical profession nationally needs to take a stand against this forced sonogram law, which amounts to cruel and inhuman punishment.
It is truly amazing how far some macho gun-toting males will go to assert their intentions to rule over women and children—not just mentally and spiritually, but to dominate their very physical existence. So much for human rights in Oklahoma.

The law we really need is for legislators to be required to view movies of torture and footage of civilians being shot, burned and bombed.
Maybe that would influence their choosing to murder 10’s of thousands of innocent people in the name of war profiteering. Maybe not.
