Lankford Declares Every Child is Valuable Ahead of Democrat’s Radical Abortion Bill

Following the unprecedented leak of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization last week, Senator James Lankford (R-OK) strongly opposed the so-called “Women’s Health Protection Act,” which he has said would be more accurately described as a bill to promote unlimited abortions on demand until birth, when the bill came once again to the floor for a vote.

The bill would undo all existing state protections for unborn life and prevents future federal, state and local limits on abortion. It would force every state to be a late-term abortion state. It also carves out long-standing protections for religious freedom. Lankford raised his intense opposition to the bill on the Senate floor. The bill failed in a vote of 49 to 51.
