"Oklahoma recently passed a law (HR 1595) that will collect personal details about every single abortion performed in the state and post them on a public website. Critics of the legislation worry that the information could be used to identify individuals. Portions of the law were supposed to take effect on Nov. 1, but a judge delayed activation pending the outcome of a legal challenge. On Friday, approximately 100 people gathered at the State Capitol in Oklahoma to protest HR 1595, in an attempt to better inform Oklahoma residents about what’s going on:" - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

I haven't gotten to my blog about this particular subject, which touched a hot button in me the *instant* the law passed. According to the Princeton dictionary, terrorism is defined as "terrorism, act of terrorism, terrorist act (the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear)" (http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl...). This "law" and its desired effect on women is NOTHING short of emotional terrorism. - Prosey BUTTONS!

In short, I hope those protesters get their message across. I stand with them in heart, if not in person -- because this "law" is in direct violation of the spirit of Roe v Wade - which is the protection of *privacy*...and foundational in what became our current HIPAA regulations. - Prosey BUTTONS!

Well said, Denise. Well said. - Hookuh Tinypants
