Disgusting.

The social conservatives in the Oklahoma House of Representatives have decided that women who are considering abortions should be forced to undergo an invasive ultrasound procedure, and they’re not going to let a governor’s veto stop them: Oklahoma House Overrides Abortion Restrictions Vetoes.

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma House voted overwhelmingly Monday to override Governor Brad Henry’s vetoes of two abortion measures he called unconstitutional intrusions into citizens’ private lives and decisions. 

The Senate is expected to follow suit as early as Tuesday, after which the bills would become law. 

Without discussion or debate, House members voted 81-14 to override the veto of a bill requiring women to undergo an ultrasound and listen to a detailed description of the fetus before getting an abortion. 

They voted 84-12 to override a veto of legislation that prohibits pregnant women from seeking damages if physicians withhold information or provide inaccurate information about their pregnancy. Supporters had said that legislation was aimed at preventing women from discriminating against fetuses with disabilities. 

So if you want to live in the Dark Ages and keep those womenfolk down, just move to Oklahoma.
