Cultural Christianity isn’t the problem By William Wolfe, Op-ed contributor for The Christian Post
It’s now a felony to perform an abortion in Oklahoma. Pro-life movement, take note: This is how we win.
In case you missed it, last week, April 12, the state of Oklahoma took a giant step for America when Gov. Kevin Stitt signed into law new legislation that essentially outlaws all abortions. The bill takes the necessary step of criminalizing the act of providing an abortion, by making it a felony for anyone to perform or attempt to perform an abortion, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.
This bill is being lamented by its opponents as the “most restrictive abortion ban in the nation” since the advent of Roe v. Wade in 1973. Good. Anyone in possession of their right moral mind should want to ban abortion.

The bill, SB612, “prohibits the performance of an abortion or attempt to perform an abortion except to save the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency.” It passed both the Oklahoma House and Senate earlier this year with overwhelming support and was positively welcomed by the Republican governor.
During the signing ceremony, Gov. Stitt celebrated the new law as a massive win for the unborn. Surrounded by supporters holding signs that read, “Life is a Human Right,” he unapologetically proclaimed, “We want to outlaw abortion in the State of Oklahoma.”
Amen to that, Gov. Stitt. Amen. Not only should abortion be unconscionable, but it should also be illegal.
In a follow-up tweet, Stitt reminded Oklahomans, “As Governor, I promised to sign every piece of pro-life legislation that hit my desk. Today I kept that promise by signing SB 612 into law, once again showing the world that Oklahoma is the most pro-life state in the country.”
He will have a chance to continue providing this fearless leadership, as more pro-life pieces of legislation are headed his way from the Oklahoma state legislature in the coming weeks.
