Abortionist sues to stop Oklahoma abortion law

Oklahoma abortionist Larry Burns and the pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Rights have filed a lawsuit against a state law which bans dismemberment abortions and requires fetal tissue taken from girls younger than fourteen who abort be forwarded to state rape investigators.

The lawsuit alleges that because the law “contains four separate sections, each of which addresses an entirely different subject,” it is a violation of the Oklahoma Constitution’s requirement that individual pieces of legislation be confined to a single subject.

However, Republican state Senator Greg Treat, who authored the bill, “feel[s] strongly the bill we drafted is constitutional,” because it addresses only one subject, abortion.

Dear Reader,

Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.

That number should break our hearts and move us to action.

Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.

Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.

Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.

The lawsuit follows a judge’s decision to temporarily stay the law last month.

Laws such as this one forcing abortionists to send information on statutory rapes and possible forcible rapes have been driven by past instances of abortion organizations such as Planned Parenthood failing to report evidence of the sexual abuse of a minor to the authorities, as seen in just one of several videos, below:
