Oklahoma Abortion Bills Become Law
The Oklahoman ^ | April 27, 2010 | Julie Bisbee

Posted on 04/27/2010 11:19:29 AM PDT by gwjack

Abortion bills vetoed by the governor last week became law today when the Senate successfully voted in favor of overriding two abortion bills.

On Monday, the House voted to override the bills. House Bill 2780 requires a health care provider to perform an ultrasound before an abortion could be perform and HB 2656 would make it illegal to sue a doctor claiming "wrongful birth" because the doctor failed to convince the mother to abort a child.

Gov Henry will soon be replaced by a Republican. It will probably be Mary Fallin, though Randy Brogdon is more conservative.

Thanks for clarifying. I didn't understand how it was overriding the bill. Public school education is really taking its toll.

Once again confirms that the "D" after any office holder's name is short for "Death".

So a woman is carrying a child deemed to be defective, somehow. The doc tells her this....but she refuses abortion. She gives birth, then sues this doctor for failing to convince her to have abotion?

The new law specifically disallows this, correct? Like the doctor tells me my unborn baby is...I dunno, blind, ugly even. He warns my unborn baby is not only blind, but retarded even, or else maybe really, really ugly.

I don’t abort but after my horribly ugly child is born I then sue that doctor for failing to convince me how really ugly that child was....calling it a “wrongful birth”? Am I understanding this correctly?

Seriously...someone who made it to position of Governor vetoed disallowing this practice?

And why the mandatory ultrasound? I mean it’s okay with me but what’s behind that concept?

There must be some mistake. Governor Henry is a “pro-life Democrat,” so he couldn’t have possibly vetoed those bills. /s//

Recent legislation in the several U.S. states now requires women to have an ultrasound before they may legally consent to an abortion. These laws are motivated by the proposition that if a woman sees an ultrasound image her baby, she will be more likely to think of it as a human child instead of a lump of tissue, and so choose not to abort it.

Perhaps so the mother can see what her “clump of cells” really looks like.

This “wrongful birth” stuff may be an attempt to limit trial lawyer's jackpot justice schemes.

John Edwards earned the inner circle in Hell, and got millions suing baby docs that did nothing wrong over birth defects, and completely destroyed charity pre natal care in his state by forcing so many OBs to leave the state.

Probably like Kansas. Republican in-fighting lets the Democrat pull out a win.

Good old Bart has showed us the way; conservative and pro-life voters no longer have any excuse to vote Democrat on issues relating to life.

You're right. Death appears to be the one issue that truly unites the Dems.
