16. They won't post the names of anyone
The law is ridiculous, but posting names is not part of it.

17. Who cares? The comparison of abortion to viagra hurts the pro-choice
argument much more than it helps it. Abortion and Viagra have nothing to do with each other.

18. It's female reproductive health versus male reproductive health.
The male is fully covered, the female is not.

22. What's "reproductive" about viagra? It's male sexual health versus
female reproductive health.

They're completely different and comparing the two is stupid.

A better comparison is whether or not any pregnancy benefits exist versus abortion benefits, as the act of getting pregnant can occur in both cases by accident (whether they birth the kid or abort it), so why should benefits cover a pregnancy that occurred by accident but not the termination of the same one.

We're fighting on the same team here, I just hate the comparison of abortion to viagra because each one is a different remedy to a completely different problem brought on for completely different reasons.

6. No!
Nor should the names of adulturous lovers, or men arrested for soliciting a prostitute.

But we are talking about Oklahoma, here. They do not define freedom in quite the same way as most of us.

9. Should we post a list of all men who order viagra???
CNN just got a nasty letter from me on just how incredibly stupid this question is. My body is MY body, your body is YOUR body. I won`t presume to tell you what to do with your`s, don`t presume to tell me what to do with mine.

10. This is the path that will have to be taken to stop this illegal
nonsense. They scream about the government staying out of their lives but they attempt to wield the government to interfere in womens lives.

12. It shouldn't even be taken.
Edited on Sat Dec-19-09 08:08 PM by RB TexLa

The only question asked should be "how do you want to pay?"

15. HELL NO!
Sounds like a method of intimidation and humiliation. People won't get an abortion because they won't be able to keep it private and will be harassed and shunned by family and neighbors.
