Kurt Hochenauer: "Troopers, Women Lose"

Kurt Hochenauer - who blogs as Okie Funk and writes for the Oklahoma Gazette - posted today on his chagrin at the priorities of the Oklahoma Legislature. You can also follow him on Twitter at http://twitter.com/kurthochenauer/. His post today (read full version here) begins:

State legislators crafted a budget for next year that could lead to state trooper furloughs, but somehow they came up with $280,000 to harass women seeking abortions.

So it goes in red state Oklahoma these days . . .

House 1595, which has passed the House and Senate, requires the state to spend $280,000 to fund a reporting system for all abortions performed in Oklahoma. Under the law, doctors would have to submit detailed information about each woman seeking an abortion. This information— identities would supposedly be protected—would then be published on a public web site.

In the world of Twitter, this is what is known as a re-tweet. :-)
