Oklahoma may require restroom signs in anti-abortion effort

Horrible for making diners and fast food places put them up in their bathrooms. Pay from them and put them up in women's health centers if you're going to do this.

When it comes to abortion, for any peaceful action against it, the ends justify the means. And for the record, I support all of birth control being available, including Plan B and IUDs, as I believe life begins at Implantation.

People like spending money they'll never see again, I guess.

[Mike67]

Gotta do something to take off attention from the looming budget deficit

Both Democrats and Republicans love spending large amounts of money

[Mr. Reactionary]

This is so stupid I don't even know what to say.

[dead0man]

Seems like a huge waste of money to me.  That's what govts do.

[Devout Centrist]

Small government!

Any law that could stop one person from getting an abortion and demonstrate that they are terrible, terrible things is a freedom law.

How does the government have any right to mandate that a business use its own money to advertise something that, while potentially helpful to a woman, could be viewed as a political position? Would it be acceptable for the government to mandate that businesses direct women to places where they could receive an abortion? Or is the only difference between the two that you oppose abortion?

Basically, ending abortion is such a justified cause that the ends justify the means (as long as you aren't killing people)

If government is going to be utilized as a channel to combat your ends, it damn well should be paying for the expenses to do so. Not only is it mandating controversial actions, its forcing businesses to dip into its own pockets to pay for its agenda.

Saying that the ends justifies the means provides you no higher ground than your opponent. Should they be in power, you've set a precedent for them to place their own burdensome regulations on businesses and not cover the costs. In such an instance, should you decry it as government intrusion, your criticism would ring hollow since you were unwilling to apply the same standards to your side.

Terrible and very burdensome on business.

What a stupid and pointless law this is. I guess Oklahoma has nothing better to do than to waste money on this.
