Legislative Update

‘New Abortion Bill Headed to Governor’s Desk,’ a NewsOk.com headline reads.

The story says, “State senators overwhelmingly passed an anti-abortion bill today that protects health-care providers’ rights to refuse to take part in abortions, regulates the so-called morning after pill and provides a woman with an ultrasound of her unborn child prior to her abortion.”

“Senators accepted the House’s amendments to Senate Bill 1878 by Sen. Todd Lamb and then gave final passage to the measure 38-10.”

You may recall me mentioning this bill before. Since that time, I have spoken to a few pro-life medical professionals, including a pharmacist and an OBGYN, who say this would be a huge step. The story added, “Lamb said the bill is sound, strong, good family policy.” I quite agree.

Note: The last time pro-life legislation went to the Governor’s desk, he did not sign in but allowed it to become law by letting the allotted time to veto it pass.
