Breaking: Oklahoma Senate Approves Bill that Declares Life Begins at Conception

The vote Wednesday upset doctors who fear the proposed law will jeopardize reproductive medicine.

The bill now heads to the House, where it is expected to pass. Republican Gov. Mary Fallin typically won’t comment on pending legislation, but she has described herself as strongly “pro-life.”

The bill provides embryos and fetuses with “all the rights privileges, and immunities” of other citizens.

Embryos have more rights than women.

Abortion will be illegal in Oklahoma. Certain forms of birth control will also be outlawed.

I’ve been really trying to keep my political rage under control recently. I prefer to focus on things I enjoy rather than things that make me want to scream, but this…

I’ve heard people say it’s not useful to see your political opponents as evil. But I believe that there is a strong group within the Republican party which is proud of the fact that they want women and all people with uteruses to be second class citizens for life. By heaping degradation upon them, denying them access to medical care, and enshrining in law that embryos that might grow inside of them are more important than they are.

There isn’t another word for that than “evil,” no matter how fair-minded I want to be. Somebody comes along and tries to make me less than other citizens of this country in law as well as practice (I already am treated as less in practice) and I’m not going to waste time trying to be understanding about that. There’s nothing to understand, except that they want everyone with a reproductive uterus to have the same options in life available to us now that we did in the “good old days.” Historian pro-tip: those olden days were a fucking nightmare. Trying to make the world like that again is nothing more or less than an act of violence against all of us.
