I am sitting here wondering how any of those legislators can live with themselves?!?!?!

I just got back quad screen results, which were beautiful, and have my 20 week u/s scheduled for tomorrow. I feel that my trust in my provider would be SO violated, I could never see them again. If you aren't comfortable discussing that information honestly with your patients- change you patient population!

Has anyone found the actual language? Do they also block a woman from obtaining her medical records? If I were living in OK, I think I would demand a copy of all lab results and procedure reports!

Again, another state off my potential residency locations. First AZ (my family is Hispanic- not putting them through that) and now this.

At this rate, residency app decisions will be a snap.

well if there is a conflict between the state and federal laws, the federal laws will take precedence...I can't believe I did not hear about this in the news or anywhere else!

Here's an update from the NY Times:
Quote:
A state [Oklahoma] judge on Monday delayed for 45 days the putting into effect of a law requiring women to undergo an ultrasound and hear a detailed description of the fetus before having an abortion.


Here are the two OK laws on abortion:
Oklahoma law requiring an ultrasound before abortion
Oklahoma law preventing lawsuit for "wrongful birth"
