Via Phayrngula, I learned that Lamb drafted a bill that requires physicians to collect 10 pages of information about every woman requesting an abortion and to post that information online.
The bill was passed in May. An Oklahoma judge granted a restraining order against the bill.
It's an invasion of privacy and unneccessary.
Online posting of women's abortion information challenged in Oklahoma - CNN.com. "
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1969 drafted criteria for vital statistics around abortion to look at infant and maternal mortality in an effort to make the procedure safer. The CDC's guidelines have long been considered the standard and "all the states pretty much follow that," said Elizabeth Nash, who tracks state abortion legislation for the Guttmacher Institute. "You compare the law in Oklahoma to the CDC standard, and you see the law in Oklahoma goes far beyond what has been considered appropriate for vital statistics purposes," Nash said.
Update: The conversation at Pharyngula is fascinating, in part because PZ Myer's daughter Skatje appears not to be opposed to the bill.
Here is the bill itself: Download 1595
I have two children, they live in separate homes with relatives because I lack the finances and mental capability to care for them. I am pregnant now and think that it would be responsible on my part to have an abortion. If I would have had the funding, I would have had an abortion with two of my children. But, because I could not afford to have the procedure, my children were force to live in poverty.

Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said,that "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."

A scruffy Alabama terrier mix named Mason was whisked away by fierce twisters last month, prompting his owners, who lost their home in the storm, to fear the worst. But the redoubtable mutt apparently crawled back to his home days later with two broken legs in a remarkable tale of survival.
Local news outlet WBRC reports that Mason was blown away by the storm from the garage in Birmingham where he was hiding on April 27. His owners looked for him everywhere but couldn't find him. Two and a half weeks later, though, they found Mason waiting for them on their front porch when they returned to the house to look through the debris.
