The intransigence of the State Senate in their refusal to pass legislation to abolish abortion leads them to pass pro-life legislation that:
- Enshrines baby murder into Oklahoma law
- Considers some abortion to be health care and some abortion to be something close to (but not quite?) murder
- Claims on one hand that life begins at conception while simultaneously treating most aborted babies as subhuman and unworthy of protection
- Contradicts other pro-life legislation that they are working on at the same time. For example, one bill prohibits abortion after 30 days, another at detection of a heartbeat, another one at conception. These bills all work against each other.
Abortion abolitionism is the most consistent application of a biblically-minded "pro-life" philosophy. Abortion is murder, plain and simply; period, end of sentence. It's murder at 36 weeks, it's murder at 20 weeks, it's murder at 12 weeks, it's murder at 6 weeks, it's murder at 2 weeks. Drawing an arbitrary line at any point after life begins (conception) at which baby murder is a-okay is injustice. Every pro-life bill that seeks to regulate abortion is, in fact, ultimately perpetuating it.
Here is an analysis by Free The States on five of the six measures passed by the Senate. Below is the press release from Senate President Pro Tempore Greg Treat's office:
Senate advances important pro-life bills
OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma Senate on Thursday approved a slate of pro-life measures to ensure the state values and protects the lives of the unborn.
“Since the grave error of Roe, states like Oklahoma have worked diligently to enact measures to protect the lives of the unborn and the bills passed today by the Senate further that work and will help sustain a culture in our state that values and protects life at all stages. It is my sincere hope federal legal precedents allowing abortion are overturned, restoring Oklahoma’s ability to prohibit abortion once again. Until that welcomed day, I will continue to lead the Oklahoma Senate to enact measures to save the lives of the unborn,” said Senate President Pro Tempore Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City.
The Senate approved the following pro-life bills:
