Oklahoma Abortion Law: Details To Be Publicly Posted Online


A new Oklahoma law requires physicians to disclose detailed information on women's abortions to the State's Department Of Health, which will then post the collected data on a public website. The controversial measure comes into effect on November 1 and will cost $281,285 to implement, $256,285 each subsequent year to maintain.

Oklahoma women undergoing abortion procedures will be legally forced to reveal:

1) Date of abortion
2) Country in which abortion is performed
3) Age of mother
4) Marital status of mother
5) Race of mother
6) Years of education of mother
7) State or foreign country of residence of mother
8 ) Total number of previous pregnancies of the mother

Proponents of the legislation claim that women should not be concerned over their privacy since no names or "personal information" will be reported. This defense is questionable. Feminists For Choice argues, "In reviewing the actual text of the law, the first 8 questions that will be asked and reported could easily be used to identify any member of a smaller community."

The Center For Reproductive Rights, Rep. Wanda Jo Stapleton (D-Okla.), and Okla. resident Lora Joyce David have filed a lawsuit to prevent this contentious abortion bill from going into effect, on the grounds that it violates the state's constitution.

It seems that abortion proponents are so ashamed of what they do or support others doing that they do not want statistical reporting done.

More like a matter of none of your %$@#*!  business.

Applies to a lot more than medical procedures.

Nothing wrong with statistical reporting, but this ain't just that.  Putting that data with that sort of granularity, in my eyes, damn near violates an individual's right to privacy.

Could you just see the right-wing loons in a small town using this and the process of elimination to eviscerate any woman who would dare make a choice about her own body?

Again, they are not collecting the name of the town. Where are you getting this idea?

[PepePeru]

who's going to use this data.

If it were to be used in scholarly research, there seems to be a lot of that going on without the data being posted to a public website.

Hester Prynne must have voted democratic.

Nowhere does it say they would release the information on a city/community level, only compiled statistical data.

I question #2 "Country performed" because that seems pretty obvious.

I am trained/certified to be a HIPAA officer, but have never done it in practice. From what I know, statistical data is very much allowed.

If you follow the link; #2 reads "county performed"

The data can be released, they just can't release name, ssn, and other personal info. My wife has done this in the industry she works in, they just have to make sure that personal information is scrubbed before the other info is given out.

I never honestly thought that the party of so-called "small government" would turn into the party of excess, interventionism and imprudence so quickly.
