You know, when I was growing up, the difference between the US and the Soviet Union was summarized with a two-word phrase: "papers, please." Now that's the law in Arizona. Law enforcement groups actually hate the law.
Meanwhile Oklahoma passed a law that requires probe-rape for pregnant women who want an abortion. Yes, when someone inserts an object into an orifice of your body without your permission, that is rape.
But, hey, the Republicans also say they want less government.

But for those who prefer the induced miscarriage version, I can see where this would be highly objectionable.
