Anti-abortion "personhood" bill clears Oklahoma senate

OKLAHOMA CITY | Thu Feb 16, 2012 2:29am EST

OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - Oklahoma lawmakers edged closer toward trying to outlaw abortion on Wednesday by approving "personhood" legislation that gives individual rights to an embryo from the moment of conception.

The Republican-controlled state Senate voted 34-8 to pass the "Personhood Act" which defines the word person under state law to include unborn children from the moment of conception.

The measure now goes to the state House where pro-life Republicans outnumber Democrats by more than a 2-1 margin.

Oklahoma's Republican Governor Mary Fallin, who signed every anti-abortion bill sent to her last year, did not issue a reaction to the latest right-to-life measure.

4. "State Rape" - not hyperbole.. not a metaphor. .. . . . .n/t

5. We're in the fight for our lives. The Republicans want to roll back not just Roe v Wade

but even the right to contraception. That only became constitutionally guaranteed in 1965. See Griswold v Connecticut: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griswold_v._Connecticut

When the Republicans talk about getting back to the "family values" of the 1950s they aren't kidding.

6. This point needs to be hammered home in GD over and over and over.

There is a difference, and while it may not be enough for many (if not most), the differences which do exist are by no means insubstantial.
