MSNBC host Rachel Maddow reported that Oklahoma Republicans — who have effectively banned abortion — now want to create a government database of women who have had abortions.
Republicans hope to pass this invasive government tracking in House Bill 3216 (authored by GOP State Rep. Kevin West), which would also ban some forms of birth control such as “the morning-after pill” (often used for emergencies, including rape) and IUDs, reports The Oklahoman.
