BREAKING: The Oklahoma House has approved a total abortion ban that can be enforced by private citizens.

If approved by the Senate and signed into law, this ban would take effect immediately.

It's a dark moment for Oklahomans' ability to control their own bodies and futures.

1. Is it ok to use the word Nazi yet?

2. When you feel your election system is bullet-proof, you can elect any damn law you want.

Extremism can't survive in a truly democratic government. We should be ranking states by their election law systems. The least Democratic/humane, the less we should commercially support. (Federally and individually).

3. I think after 50 years of Roe....

And two generations of very empowered women that have come after it, your going to see quite a backlash and a revolt against these ignorant, supercilious assholes.

I’m 71 and have been fighting this for over 40 years and I’m prepared to fight again.

8. Lol when?? The time for a revolt was 20+ years ago.

[SoonerPride]

12. Sadly I don't think so.

They aren’t engaged.

4. So then what can a private citizen do to make a woman have a baby? Take her prisoner for 9 months?

Is that what OK just legalized?
Feels like it.

5. Oklahoma has created their own Stasi

Guess they must hope their own kids turn them in.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

6. I wonder how many members of that Oklahoma House

have ever been pregnant.

7. Vote out republicans

9. A miscarriage is an abortion.

A miscarriage is an abortion.

Sue for details and claim negligence on the part of the mother.

It's not like right wingers have compassion for anyone except their own.

Would they do that?

If it was a democrat, some of them surely would.

10. flood the zone with complaints against known right-wingers

[Buckeyeblue]

11. It's turned into a race to the bottom

These states are in a dead sprint to see who can out do the other.

In the end, businesses that require an intelligent work force will not be able to locate in these states because no one will want to live there.

If Thomas bites it, all bets are off. I don't think Roberts will overturn Roe.

13. Private Citizens shouldn't be allowed to be deputized

To enforce anything. And if I had to I sure as hell would just ignore them.

[jalan48]

14. What else down the road will certain citizens be allowed to "enforce" upon their fellow citizens?

[roamer65]

15. Young women are going to move en masse to pro-choice states.

I really think we are going see pro-choice states with majority female populations and anti-choice states with majority male populations.

Let’s see after the overturn of Roe v Wade if I’m right. Sadly, I think the SC is going to overturn it.

16. i hope they get out and vote in their red states
