Pro-Life Legislation and Jealousy

Earlier this week, I read a news story that the oldest pro-life action group, Americans United for Life, did a state-by-state ranking in terms of pro-life friendly climates. I was discouraged to find Oklahoma not near the top (and confused to find our neighbors, Kansas and Texas).

My jealously was relieved a bit, however, when I heard of some pro-life progress at 23rd and Lincoln. Another respected pro-life group, Oklahomans for Life, sent a release today that said in part: “Following approval by the Senate Rules Committee, the full Senate will vote soon on Senator Todd Lamb’s pro-life SB 1878. The Freedom of Conscience Act would protect health care professionals’ right to refuse to participate in the taking of an innocent human life.”

That was an important first hurdle to clear for the Wilberforcean Sen. Lamb. Stay tuned for more good news, and for why I used the word “jealously” not “envy” in the headline.
