Great News for Oklahomans!

Two new abortion laws approved by the Oklahoma state legislature are now in effect, including a measure requiring the consent of one parent before a teenager can have an abortion and another giving women the option to see an ultrasound of her unborn baby before the abortion is done.

So as good as this news is, we still have much work to do!
Blessings!
