Oklahoma Lawmakers Will Vote on Handful of Pro-Life Abortion Bills This 
Week*

*Oklahoma City, OK (LifeNews.com) -- *Lawmakers in the Oklahoma 
legislature will vote on a handful of pro-life bills this week and a 
leading pro-life group there is asking for pro-life advocates to make 
calls and send emails in support. While the House will vote on four 
different bills, the Senate will consider a pro-life conscience clause.

Members of the Oklahoma Senate will vote this week on Senator Todd 
Lamb's measure, SB 1878, the Freedom of Conscience Act.

It would protect health care professionals' right to refuse to 
participate in the taking of an innocent human life such as abortion or 
euthanasia.

On the House side, legislators will vote on HB 3144, by Rep. Lisa Billy, 
which requires abortion practitioners to offer women a chance to see an 
ultrasound before the abortion and HB 3059, by Rep. Rebecca Hamilton, 
which prevents forcing or coercing a woman into having an abortion.

They will also vote on HB 2771, by Rep. Pam Peterson, the House version 
of the conscience clause legislation in the Senate; and HB 2181 
<http://www.lifenews.com/state2926.html>, by Rep. Skye McNiel, which 
would require abortion practitioners to follow the guidelines the FDA 
has put forward on the dangerous RU 486 abortion drug.

Tony Lauinger, the chairman of Oklahomans for Life, told LifeNews.com he 
hopes pro-life advocates in the state will take action immediately to 
let their legislators know they support the bills.

"It is urgent that senators hear at once from their pro-life 
constituents," he said.

"In addition, please contact your state representative in the Oklahoma 
House and request support for the four pro-life bills that will be voted 
on this week," he added.

Lauinger also told LifeNews.com that HB 2814, by Rep. Dan Sullivan, 
which helps promote a respect for life of babies with physical or mental 
disabilities, received approval from the Oklahoma House on March 6.
