LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The final decision will be up to Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin, a Republican, for her signature. If approved, the bill will outlaw abortion, except in cases where the mother's life is in danger. Doctors who perform abortions will receive up to three years in prison.
Several commentators have pointed out that Roe v. Wade prevents states from outlawing abortion in the first weeks of pregnancy, where the baby isn't viable outside the mother's womb. How the bill will evade this legal challenge hasn't been discussed.
There is no question that a fertilized egg in a mother's womb is human life. Despite this scientific fact, many people believe it should be perfectly acceptable to end this life, as long as it is in the womb.
We look forward to the day when a baby does not have to fight for its survival before it is even born. A society can be judged by how it treats its most vulnerable citizens.
