Washington (CNN) -- Oklahoma lost another round in its effort to restrict abortions when the U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday declined to hear an appeal in a case that would force women seeking an abortion to have an ultrasound first.
The justices, without comment, refused to accept the state's appeal over HB 2780, which would require healthcare providers to perform an ultrasound scan before terminating a woman's pregnancy.
The Oklahoma law was so egregious that courts in Oklahoma itself had shot it down. It would have required women and their doctors to have ultrasound and, if necessary, images obtained from vaginal insertion. The woman, of course, could refuse to look at the images obtained, but the vaginal insertion is degrading enough.
Another law, a religious one, disguised as a so-called law to **cough** protect the health of the woman **cough** has been laid to rest by people who have a brain to figure out what the real motive was in passing the law.
This is another law passed by people who claim they hate big government, but are more than willing to have big government, if it meets their extremist agenda. Thankfully, the courts are not so extremist.
