Anti Abortion Bill Passes Without GOP Support
Last week we saw the landmark pro life bill pass the House in Oklahoma, HB 1182 by Rep. Jim Olsen and Senator Allen cruised through the House floor vote 71 to 21 along party lines. I heard of the passage on the way home from work, listening to the story as I parked the car in the driveway, smiling to myself knowing that STP support for Rep Olsen was a great investment. The bill says that a doctor's license can be revoked if he performs an abortion in a case where the life of the mother is not at risk.

Now this is going to be challenged but now is the time to start the challenge because Trump has shifted the Supreme Court back to Constitutional judges and now that Trump has slammed the impeachment fraud in the face of the Democrats old RBG might well tire of waiting for a regime change and might step down. If not, it will be a couple of years and the old liberal hag is likely to die of something as she has used up more lives than a cat. By the time this law gets adjudicated we might have a solid 6 to 3 conservative court.
But sad to say, Oklahoma GOP Chairman David McLain was no where to be seen or heard in support of the bill. However he might have been waiting for the City Elder rally at the Capitol next week to push for SB 13.
Now don't get confused, SB 13 was the wrong bill last session and it was pushed by attacking the Senate on a personal level. But we have always said that our approach, a steady drum beat of advances slowly choking off the loop holes that abortionists hide in was the best approach, better to save the 99 babies for sure than go for that last child and save no babies.
But with the City Elders rally next week we will see if their leader David McLain is finally going to come out in favor of the legislation that the City Elders and other abolitionists groups support. It is going to be impossible for him not to really without losing the only support base he has left.
No doubt that SB 13 is going to be modified to allow previous pro life legislation to survive and to allow for abortions where a mother's life is in danger, it would be foolish not to. So if SB 13 gets a push from GOP Chairman David McLain it stands a good chance of passing now that the abolitionists have toned down their attacks. Whether it stands legal challenges remains to be seen.
