Welcome to the Tuesday edition of your open thread. As always, nothing is off-topic in an open thread. The floor is yours.
Some good news in Oklahoma for once:
This is good news:
OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma County District Judge Noma Gurich on Monday said she will sign an order putting a controversial ultrasound abortion law on hold.
The law forces women seeking a legal medical procedure to first undergo a vaginal ultrasound — whether they want to or not; to listen to a detailed description of the fetus — whether they want to or not; and to look at a picture of it — whether they want to or not.
This law will no doubt be challenged all the way to the Supreme Court, where currently we have a 5-justice majority that believes women are children who don’t know their own minds.
Sue Lowden’s campaign has a new health care plan – go to the Emergency Room.
Okay, chickens-for-checkups has taken another new turn: Sue Lowden’s campaign manager has now said that all Americans already have access to health care — because if you get shot in the chest, you can simply head over to the emergency room.
This will make it easier for Dems to argue that there’s a serious ideological reality underlying all the joking about Lowden’s proposal, since disavowed, to bring down health care costs with barter: Lowden doesn’t have any real plan to fix our health care mess.
Harry Reid is probably praying that his opponent is out-of-touch Sue Lowden.
