"Abortion rights group sues to block Oklahoma legislation; Bill requires women be told details of fetus" by Tim Talley, Associated Press | April 28, 2010
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Senate voted yesterday to override Governor Brad Henry’s veto of two abortion bills, including one that an abortion rights group has said would be among the nation’s strictest measures against the procedure.
The narrow override votes in the Republican-controlled Senate occurred a day after the State House voted overwhelmingly to do the same, meaning the bills became law immediately. The New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights quickly filed a lawsuit, however, seeking to block enforcement of one of the statutes.
It requires women to undergo an ultrasound and listen to a detailed description of the fetus before getting an abortion. The person who performs the ultrasound must describe the dimensions of the fetus; say whether arms, legs, and internal organs are visible; and report whether the physician can detect cardiac activity. He or she must also turn a screen depicting the images toward the woman so she can see them.
The Center for Reproductive Rights has said the ultrasound requirement intrudes upon a patient’s privacy and forces a woman to hear information that may not be relevant to her medical care. The group also believes it could interfere with the physician-patient relationship by compelling doctors to deliver unwanted speech.
And it might actually humanize and save a valued life as opposed to the disconnect of an abortion.
Of course, the PROCEDURE ITSELF is anything but disconnected, ladies, but the WAY the ISSUE is TALKED ABOUT is as if it is NO PROBLEM!
Just go get an abortion!
“The constitutional issues are very serious,’’ said Jennifer Mondino, an attorney for the group. Oklahoma County District Judge Noma Gurich set a hearing Monday on the organization’s request for a temporary restraining order.
Amazing how that thing can be ignored on monetary policy, wars, retroactive telecom immunity and the like but relevant here.
Henry, a Democrat, had also cited constitutional issues in vetoing the law, saying the measures were an unlawful intrusion into citizens’ private lives and lacked exemptions for rape and incest victims.
I have had to compromise a lot more in my open-abortion state.

“Both laws will be challenged and, in all likelihood, overturned by the courts as unconstitutional,’’ he said after the override votes. “I fear this entire exercise will ultimately be a waste of taxpayers’ time and money.’’
That is GOVERNMENT FOR YOU!

"Tornadoes rake Okla., Kansas, leaving 5 dead" by Associated Press | May 11, 2010
NORMAN, Okla. — Tornadoes ripped through parts of the Southern Plains yesterday in an outbreak of violent weather that killed five people, tossed cars off highways, flipped mobile homes, and sent baseball-size hail crashing through windshields, officials said.
Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management spokesman Jerry Lojka said two people were killed in Oklahoma City and three were killed in Cleveland County, which is south of the city. The agency did not have any additional details, including how the people died.
Officials reported that at least 58 others were injured throughout Oklahoma in the daylong onslaught. Two of the injuries were critical.

In some neighborhoods in Oklahoma City, emergency workers were going door to door to make sure everyone was accounted for.
“The kids and I got in the closet and prayed,’’ said Jamie Keyes, of Norman. . “We’re all very fortunate.’’
The storms were part of a violent weather system that also spawned twisters in Kansas, damaging homes in Belmont.
Hours after hitting Oklahoma, the storm cell was moving into Arkansas.
