Way to go, Okies.

Oklahoma's legislature on Thursday passed a bill that would ban abortions from the stage of "fertilization" and allow private citizens to sue abortion providers who "knowingly" perform or induce an abortion "on a pregnant woman."

True to the Sooner tradition, they're getting to Zero Ground Dark Ages sooner than anyone else.

If there is no penalty for frivolous litigation, it would be hilarious if people filed nuisance suits against the Governor and anti abortion pastors, just to force them to defend themselves in court.

@Lila15 I was visiting my 90 year old father this week. He expressed the opinion (and I agree) that if a total stranger can block a woman from choosing an abortion, she should be able to sue them for the costs of prenatal care and child support ! 😳

@Lila15 In Texas they set up an anonymous "tip line" where people could leave names of women suspected of seeking abortions and people suspected of helping them travel out of state for abortions.

Needless to say, all the prominent republicans in Texas government, elected, appointed, whatever, found their names and their family names submitted repeatedly to the tip line. folks on Reddit make a sport of it
