Well, I guess Oklahoma's status as an abortion tourism hub was fun while it lasted.
Yesterday afternoon, our stodgy, sanctimonious, anti-tourism lawmakers sent a bill to Governor Kevin Stitt – a 49-year-old grown man who equates a clump of cells nesting in a woman's body to a human baby – that takes the already extreme Texas anti-abortion law to new extreme levels by banning the abortion of any “human fetus or embryo in any stage of gestation from fertilization until birth.”
Just like all the other (at-the-time unconstitutional) anti-abortion bills our lawmakers have passed over the decades, the legislation has generated a lot of negative – or if you're a wacko conservative – positive attention for the state on the national stage.
