State Sen. Dave Rader, R-Tulsa, has introduced a bill that would grant “personhood” to unborn children in Oklahoma.

The Personhood Act, Senate Bill 195, states, “The life of each human being begins at conception” and “unborn children have protectable interests in life, health and well-being…”

It would grant “on behalf of the unborn child at every stage of development all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents of this state.” It also states no action will be taken against any woman for “indirectly harming her unborn child by failing to properly care for herself or by failing to follow any particular program of prenatal care.”

Also, State Sen. Ron Standridge, R-Norman, introduce Senate Bill 327 which attempts to give more power to the State Commissioner of Health in terms of regulating abortion clinics. And it mandates that the State Department of Health keep a list of infractions discovered through its investigations on its website.
