The following report are excerpts from The Oklahoman:
Oklahoma on Wednesday implemented the strictest anti-abortion law in the nation, giving the country a preview of a possible post-Roe future.
Gov. Kevin Stitt signed legislation to prohibit most abortions beginning at fertilization.
Stitt signed House Bill 4327 that allows private citizens to sue anyone who “aids or abets” a woman seeking an abortion at any point in her pregnancy. The woman pursuing the procedure could not be sued.
In a statement, Stitt said he was proud to sign the legislation.
From the moment life begins at conception is when we have a responsibility as human beings to do everything we can to protect that baby’s life and the life of the mother.
Stitt said
The law that took effect immediately and openly flouts longstanding abortion protections established by the U.S. Supreme Court has limited exceptions for medical emergencies, rape and incest.
Under the law from Rep. Wendi Stearman, R-Collinsville, Oklahoma will become the first state in the nation where nearly all abortions are prohibited. In 2021, 5,950 abortions were performed in the state.
Representatives from Oklahoma’s four abortion clinics said they would stop, if they had not already, terminating pregnancies immediately upon HB 4327 taking effect.
Today, for the first time in nearly 50 years, abortion is illegal – at every stage of pregnancy – in an American state. People who can become pregnant now have fewer rights and fewer protections in Oklahoma than in any other state in the union.
Legislators who, in overwhelming numbers, cannot become pregnant have just made lesser citizens of those who can.
Said Emily Wales, interim president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Plains
I represent all 4 million Oklahomans, and the majority overwhelmingly support life in our state.
Stitt said in a recent interview
December polling from an Oklahoma City firm shows less than one-third of Oklahomans want a total ban on abortion.
Stitt said anti-abortion bills pass with overwhelmingly support from the Oklahoma Legislature, where Republicans hold supermajorities in both chambers.
He also noted the state is investing in resources for pregnant women through the Oklahoma Health Department, nonprofits and churches.
We want to be the No. 1 state in supporting crisis pregnancies. We want to love the mother, we want to love the child, we want to have adoption services.
Stitt said
The law makes an exception for abortions necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman experiencing a medical emergency.
Physicians will have to decide how sick a woman must get before they intervene, all with the threat of a possible lawsuit hanging over their heads, said Oklahoma City OB-GYN Dr. Dana Stone.
The law is unlikely to stop abortion, it will just force women to seek out unsafe abortions. “It’s ‘disturbing’ to think about some of the risks women might take to end an unwanted pregnancy,” she said.
Stone also expects the law will worsen Oklahoma’s high maternal mortality rates.
We have a high maternal mortality rate in the United States, higher than other developed countries by far. Oklahoma has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in our country, and I think this is just going to be very dangerous for women.
She said
Senate Pro Tem Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City, who opposes abortion, dismissed concerns that the law creates uncertainty for physicians.
Medical doctors are still empowered to make that decision on what constitutes a risk to the life of the mother.
All of our rights end when we do harm to someone else, and we believe strongly that that life of the unborn child is another life that deserves protection.
He said
The law also includes an exception for victims of rape and incest if they report the crime to law enforcement.
Bill Restricting School Bathrooms To Birth Sex, Effective Immediately
An Oklahoma bill limiting access to public-school bathrooms by a person’s birth sex is now law.
School districts and charter schools that don’t comply face a 5% deduction in their state funding. That could subtract thousands to millions of dollars, depending on the school system.
Gov. Kevin Stitt signed Senate Bill 615 into law Wednesday. An emergency provision in the bill caused it to take effect as soon as the governor wrote his signature.
Governor Stitt believes girls should use girl restrooms and boys should use boy restrooms.
Stitt’s spokesperson, Carly Atchison, said in a statement Wednesday evening.
All public-school restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms or shower rooms are now to be designated for exclusive use of the female or male sex. Use of these rooms is restricted to the sex listed on a person’s original birth certificate.
The law requires schools to offer single-occupancy bathrooms and changing rooms for those who don’t want to use the facility that aligns with their birth sex.
Parents and legal guardians would have grounds to sue if their children’s public school fails to comply with the law, the bill states.
The legislation follows months of debate over whether students should be allowed to use the restroom that matches their gender identity, not strictly their sex at birth.
Biological males should not receive unrestricted access to women’s restrooms, leaving our young girls uncomfortable and afraid to enter them during school.
Walters wrote in a letter to the school district
The governor signed into law this year a bill that prohibits transgender girls from women’s sports in high school and college.
Stitt, who is running for re-election, also OK’d a ban on non-binary birth certificates.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Surely I think anyone with a sound mind would agree with the sentiment here, but alas, all of these bans do not go nearly far enough, as there are always loopholes and backdoors left there on purpose. With the way The Oklahoman reported it, this could potentially lead to surgeons and emergency floor doctors turning even more into butchers.
As I said with the Roe Vs. Wade leak that happened last month, this nation will never truly get rid of abortion: it makes ‘the system’ far too much money, and Roman Catholic organizations LOVE to lobby these movements, because, that too makes them tons of money.
But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.
Jeremiah 5:23
While most abortions will be banned, this ban is only in public clinics. This people is rotten to the core and is gone. These evil women will now do whatever it takes to kill their child if they refuse to take responsibility for their actions, along with doctors and nurses who will aid in these satanic ventures after working hours, away from the office.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

It’s like too little too too late. The damage has already been done so much and so deep.
The same thing should go for pornography, too.
This is a true story Jacob and readers: in Indonesia, there was a Playboy office being opened and Muslims rioted furiously and they destroyed it. Even Muslims have better moral than most of these professing christians!
I remember when Christian people picketed the early purveyors of porn in gas stations & quickmarts. Immigration has a lot of uses in overcoming any lingering biblical Christian qualms, morality or scruples. Truth ‘bends’ in relativist Hindu-Buddhist cultures, and deceit & taquiyya, lying to one’s neighbor & then stabbing them in the back, is a way of life.
–
I also remember when a handful of pediatricians began raising the alarm over rising venereal disease rates in lower & lower age groups, and urging the churches to promote abstinence & God’s order for family before it was too late. Their careers were ruined, you can’t even find their books now, and the response was to legalize abortion to help cover things up, to change the terminology from venereal disease to ‘sexually transmitted disease’….for they wanted to distance people from fornication through philosophy & science falsely so-called to ‘sex’…..like animals, like beasts.
–
ALL the antichrist religions are sex and power cults at root without exception. It’s about the seed, counterfeiting it, & men’s idolatrous sin nature with the spirit behind it.
–
Mormons, JW’s, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, the shamanic & witch-crafts, sorcery have the same double standard as any Catholic or Laodicean, & it’s driven by self-righteousness and self-justification.
–
Consider: The average Muslim man feels free to lust after the belly dancers & to use them like dogs, & his very hope of ‘heaven/paradise’ involves pornographic dreams & supernatural angelic prostitutes the houris…..while the only sure hope he has of getting there is to commit bloody murderous martyrdom for the karmic Allah/Allat counterfeit thing. And what’s in that six-sided blackrock cube thing they march around? But a stone fallen from heaven & a silver thing shaped like female genitalia!! And they riot against Playboy?? Showtime for the sheep & the wallets that frequent the mosques supporting their branch of the nicolaitan, layered MYSTERY system is more like it: do not be deceived.
–
Ro 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Ro 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Ro 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Ro 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
Ro 3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
Ro 3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
Ro 3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
Ro 3:17 And the way of peace have they not known:
Ro 3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
–
The problem is sin & lack of fear of God as written.
–
Meanwhile the imam, like the priests of Rome, favor the pretty boys so that wise & caring fathers urge their sons to avoid the mosques, never attending without them present (while we had Generals & other officers waking up to the truth in Afghanistan that it had nothing to do with liberty or dealing with terrorists as they were guarding poppy fields & ordered to ignore both the tortured screams of raped children kept in chains beside our ‘ally’ commanders, & the pleading of mothers robbed of their children because it was ‘a cultural custom’).
–
But & sure they’ll burn down an infidel porn center with the money, power & ‘prizes’ going elsewhere than the initiated hierarchy & select cronies. Biblical morality isn’t like that……except now with the Laodicean merging ecumenical Beast system religion.
–
Muslim and Christian have always brushed shoulders, & shared idolatrous humanist hypocrisies & practices in the Lodge with MYSTERY.
–
You could always tell a true Christian from a fake Catholic or Masonic even in the colonies & the old West. True Christians were always trying to take the Gospel to the native peoples & slaves while the phonies just wanted Manifest Destiny annihilation and to keep people ignorant so they wouldn’t know or long for freedom indeed. And, later real Christians were always trying to evangelize & rescue the poor women & immigrants brought here for the sole purpose of prostitution in the whore houses, and to free the Irish drunkards from the spirits that kept them enslaved by the power of the word of God.
–
The fakes & phonies just use ‘people like that’ & think it’s fine. Sin & vice is an easy sell….and addicted vice can be extorted. With addictive vice, the sky is the limit, & control comes with it. Prohibition really had good roots in faithful preaching & biblical confrontation as booze & prostitution were weaponized by Rome & self-righteous ‘elect’ and ritual Cathobaptists like the water ducks who had both election & ritual salvation so that they taught their ‘more generous’ doctrine as Luther told Melanchthon: sin boldly.
–
Rockefeller, Carnegie & Rome really worked in unison to politicize that thing of morality AND the Bible versions, whether it was intentional or not, the spirit behind it the same.
Working so that it was turned & politicized so that the nicolaitans, compromisers & state ended up in total control while many biblical Christian groups ended up looking the ‘bad guys’……as always. Remember that when you read Rome’s history….or any romanticized humanist or selective cult version of world history.
–
Neither sorcery nor hypocrisy is new….and both have everything to do with MYSTERY and the coming Beast system they’re building.
–
Think twice about everything. Consider that meanwhile the moral Muslims seek dominion through deceit, taquiyya, thievery, and bloodlust which is why the fakes & phonies have their Chrislam & Shriner fezes….and why they can all unite against their common enemies of truth, the King James Bible & its witnesses who refuse to deny or to compromise either. Rome and Talmudic, kabalist Jews also have their deceit, taquiya, thievery & bloodlust common ground, too…….and so do the Hindu-Buddhists.
–
They all have this ‘thing’ about burning people alive & moralizing while they do it, too. Like they did John Hus. Like those Muslims in Nigeria did that Christian woman last week, and like the radical Hindus who’ve been ramping up the violence against Christians for the last 50 years. And China.
–
Strange logic, but then they must turn from truth & coarsen their consciences to be ‘good’, or worse to be ‘superiors’ and manager cronies….& God does allow men to make such choices, & to serve their father the devil and father of lies, the god of this world, so what’s truth have to do with it? Other than Romans 8:28 and the coming judgment of MYSTERY and all the nations that’s coming. Revelation 6-20 KJB.
Like they did 9-11, and in Texas, too. ….Manifesting what they truly are regardless of how they label themselves.
–
2 Corinthians 10:12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
you are so right Andy!
