In Oklahoma, we do not lack for pro-lifers. Every Okie and their mother is “100% pro-life.” We have pro-life super majorities at every level of our state government. Whatever the pro-lifers who lead our state government want to be the law on abortion, they make the law. The reason abortion is still legal in Oklahoma is because pro-life super majorities are making a deliberate choice not to abolish abortion.
30 of 38 pro-life Republicans in the State Senate voted to keep abortion legal on March 11. Four of the remaining eight abstained. Not one the 77 pro-life Republicans in the State House even introduced a bill to abolish abortion. The abolition of abortion has gotten zero support from pro-life Governor Kevin Stitt or pro-life Lt. Governor (and Senate President) Matt Pinnell.
We don’t need more pro-lifers. Adding to the supermajority makes no difference if the super majority is choosing not to abolish abortion. What we need is for pro-lifers to become abolitionists or be replaced by abolitionists. #PLEXIT
We’re in an election season and politicians know that to win in the vast majority of Oklahoma districts, they have to be seen as anti-abortion. That means a lot of pandering. We need to be able to see through the pandering.
Don’t be impressed by someone’s claim to be pro-life. Again, it’s “100% pro-life” politicians who are at the capitol voting to keep abortion legal. Ask for more specificity: Will they support the Abolition of Abortion in Oklahoma Act?ย Feel free to use questions from our candidate questionnaire as a guide for your conversations with prospective Representatives and Senators.
If they say they won’t support the Abolition of Abortion in Oklahoma Act or respond with platitudes about being pro-life, they’re not going to help abolish abortion and don’t deserve support. The capitol is already filled with pro-lifers who do nothing to abolish abortion. We need some abolitionists.
