“Oklahoma can’t afford to pay for its own anti-abortion bill.
Earlier this month, the State House of Representatives passed a bill that would require public high schools to teach that life begins at conception. But now that HB 2797 is on its way to the Senate, it finally has a price tag: $4.78 million in additional spending for a state that is already running a billion-dollar deficit. That amounts to $10,000 per high school for a state whose public education system currently ranks 46th in the nation.
The cost of the anti-abortion bill makes more sense when its requirements are itemized. HB 2797 (PDF), sponsored by Republican Representative Ann Coody, would order the Oklahoma Department of Education to advertise anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers in high schools and to “clearly and consistently teach that abortion kills a living human being.”
