OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., March 4, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- Hundreds of supporters of a recently filed Petition Initiative to Abolish Human Abortion in Oklahoma have been lobbying the Oklahoma Legislature to put forward a bill criminalizing abortion as murder.
The original plan was to put a Constitutional Amendment prohibiting abortion on the November ballot. The question would have allowed the people of Oklahoma to vote to end the practice of abortion or to retain it. But, the ACLU of Oklahoma filed a protest, halting the collection of signatures and forcing the Oklahoma Supreme Court to allow or deny the abolitionists their right to petition their government on behalf of the people. In light of this, supporters of the amendment have turned to the legislature.
On February 27th, abolitionists began circulating another petition demanding Oklahoma legislators fulfill their oaths of office and pass laws protecting and establishing justice for those being deprived of the Right to Life and those being "terminated" without due process of law. Within a week, abolitionists have collected nearly 10,000 signatures calling for the total and immediate abolition of abortion in Oklahoma (You can Read and Sign this petition here: AbolishAbortionOK.com).

Waste of time.
The states are where the power of change resides
Not in the presidency
regardless of what speeches and promises are made during campaigns
Very good news.
May justice prevail.
A manly move by the people of Oklahoma.
God bless and strengthen them against the wicked in their state as they go forward!
“The states are where the power of change resides, not in the presidency...”
Yes.
This petition is for Oklahoma residents to sign, since it pertains to Oklahoma law. Wish I could sign it.
The Party of Murders, Thefts and Perversions — otherwise known as the DNC — won’t stand for this.
How dare they call something by its actual name!
Haven’t they learned anything about obfuscation from King Obama?
The next thing you know they will label terrorist acts by muslims yelling Allahu Akbar as muslim terrorism.
One SMALL STEP for UNBORN - KIND!!!
Use DNA to prove mother and fetus are two distinct human beings.
The biggest problem I see with such a law, is that some babies are self-aborted during pregnancy. My eldest daughter was originally a twin. Several months in, we lost her twin, but she turned out fine. How do you prove that it wasn’t a natural thing? I would hope any law such as this would err on the side of not prosecuting those already suffering from loss, even at the expense of letting some folks skate who might not otherwise do so.
It associates itself with anti-slavery evangelicals of the 19th century, which the Left cannot acknowledge.
