Democrats Charge Racism to Distract from Their Agenda
Thursday 6th of May 2021
Oklahoma Democrat leaders have called for Diversity and Inclusion training for members of the Oklahoma Legislature, due to what they call “racist” comments made by Republican legislators.
On April 7, a member of the Oklahoma House of Representatives made a comment that the Democrats called racially insensitive. Rep. Jim Olsen (R-Roland), the House author of Senate Bill 612, was speaking in support of the bill in the House Public Health Committee. The legislation would abolish abortion by making it a felony for a doctor to perform an abortion, except to save the life of the mother in a medical emergency. It had already been approved in the Senate, 38-9, and was now beginning its way through the House.
