Oklahoma judge temporarily halts new
abortion law
The state of Oklahoma has agreed not to enforce a new abortion
law - criticized as one of the nation's most restrictive - until a
judge rules on a legal challenge.
Oklahoma County District Judge Noma Gurich signed the
agreement Monday afternoon. Her action temporarily halts
enforcement of the law requiring pregnant women to undergo
ultrasounds right before abortions. Legislative leaders said the
development was expected.
The Oklahoma Legislature had overridden Gov. Brad Henry's
veto of two abortion bills that he said are an unconstitutional
attempt by the Legislature to insert government into the private
lives and decisions of citizens. The new laws drastically
interfere with women's reproductive freedoms - placing hurdles
between her personal decisions and taking action.
Under the ultrasound legislation, doctors would have been
required to use a vaginal probe in cases where it would provide
a clearer picture of the fetus than a regular ultrasound. Doctors
have said this is usually the case early in pregnancies, when
most abortions are done.
The second abortion bill that the governor vetoed was one that
would have prohibited pregnant women from seeking damages if
physicians withhold important information or provide inaccurate
information about their pregnancy. Supporters of that measure
said it was an attempt to keep pregnant women from
discriminating against fetuses with disabilities.
Henry did sign one abortion bill into law: one requiring abortion
clinics to post signs stating it is against the law for anyone to
force a woman to have an abortion, and that an abortion will
not be performed until the woman gives her voluntary consent.
Earlier this month, Henry signed three other abortion-related
bills, including a ban on abortions based on the gender of the
child and tighter restrictions on the use of the RU-486 abortion
pill.
At least two other abortion measures are pending in the
Oklahoma Legislature including one that would require pregnant
women to complete a lengthy questionnaire before receiving an
abortion.

workshop
session 3: trimming the fat but
not the fun!

A Belated letter To Anita Bryant
By Jo L. Soske

Thursday June 17
6:30-8 pm, at Herland

Did you know my brown eyed son
Heart as pure as the morning dew
When you armed yourself with slogans
To begin your campaign of condemnation
Did you know my brown eyed son
Treasuring books like Midas did gold
When you sought to run us from our professions
Into the jaws of hunger and want
Did you know my brown eyed son
Searching for constellations in the evening sky
When you chased us into the darkness of hiding
To live a life of fear and lies
Did you know my brown eyed son
Ninja by day, super hero by night
When you pursued your hopes of crucifixion
In the name of the one who cast no stones
Did you know my brown eyed son
Looking for toads in the summer sun
When you waged your war of terror
Under the banner of "Save the Children, "
Did you know my brown eyed son,
Or in your haste to attack, was he the forgotten one

This workshop series provides an eye-opening
look at where your money goes and how to
take control of your finances . In session 1, we
looked at common feelings and misconceptions associated with money and budgets. In
session 2, we looked at the tools we could use
to track our spending and get a handle on the
choices we were making with our budgets.
Now, in session 3, we'll look at ways to trim
down money-wasters and keep the fun in our
budgets.
Even if you missed the first two sessions, you
are welcome to sit in on the last one.
