Hear, hear. I hate reading stories like this about my home state. Even if I were pro-life (I'm not), you could at least be smarter about it and write something that effectively limits abortion but still has some chance of withstanding court scrutiny (see e.g., Texas). Bills like this are simply going to cost the state tons of money defending an indefensible law which will likely never be enforced and eventually be overturned. Anyone who voted for a bill like that has sent up a bright red flag declaring themselves to be unfit for serious office.
As one headline said, "Oklahoma Had Its Most Embarrassing Day Ever" although I find that hard to believe. It's time for all conservatives to finally understand that SCOTUS is NEVER over-turning Roe v Wade. It's time to turn away from trying to create laws to skirt the SCOTUS ruling and focus on educating individuals. As POTUS said, no one thinks abortion is a good thing, even those individuals who choose that option. If you're pro-choice, it doesn't mean you're anti-life. The terms are not equivalent. This is probably 5 abortion banning or limiting laws in the last 15 years from the OK legislature, the first 4 have all been declared unConstitutional by the OK Supreme Court and subsequently the Fed. Appeals courts.
I forgot to mention...it's a smokescreen to try and get attention away from their ineptness and inability to figure out how to generate revenue and fund schools and infrastructure.
Sadly likely. "Wedge" issues are great at distracting people from real issues.
