Oklahoma seeks to 'out' women who have abortions

I hear that regularly, sometimes from people whom you'd think would know better -- that in addition to forcing women to go through with unplanned pregnancies, they should be treated with "compassion." Never mind that the only reaction some women getting abortions want from these folks is to butt out.
But of course, people fall for it.

Producing more unwanted and/or abused children.
Of course, that same official is likely to scream like a stuck pig over any public assistance.

Dan Sullivan, a Tulsa Republican and co-author of House Bill 1595, told Women's eNews that the law is intended "to find out why people are seeking abortions and see if there is something we can do as a state to have a positive impact." He said there is no way to understand the demand for the procedures without good data.

I see Del has already commented on this, but I can't stop myself from doing so too.
The dishonesty of the above bolded sentence says it all. This guy's out to subjugate women and steal away their control of their own bodies, but doesn't have the balls to admit it.

I think the correct term is pro-birth not pro-life, because many have made it quite clear that once the child is born, they want nothing to do with it if it involves money out of their own pocketbook..

And be in favor of abstinence-only education.
