Judge Upholds Oklahoma Pro-Life Law Requiring Abortion Clinics to Help Stop Child Rape January 18, 2016 0 Comments Abortion advocates in Oklahoma lost a round in court this week when a judge rejected their argument against a state law requiring abortion clinics to provide information to help protect young rape victims. Oklahoma County District Judge Thomas Prince rejected a request from Larry A. Burns and the Center for Reproductive Rights to rule the new law unconstitutional Wednesday, according to the Associated Press. However, the judge did uphold an Oklahoma Supreme Court order that stops the law from taking effect until the case is fully resolved, the AP reports. Burns, an abortion doctor in Norman, Oklahoma, and his pro-abortion attorneys argued that the law violates a state constitutional requirement that legislation cover a single subject, according to Courthouse News Service. Judge Prince rejected the argument, ruling that the four sections of the law are “germane,” according to the report. The report details the provisions of Senate Bill 642: Section 1 levies criminal and civil penalties for helping a minor get an abortion without parental consent; Section 2 requires girls younger than 14 to submit fetal tissue samples to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation for rape investigation; Section 3 allows the Department of Health to conduct unannounced searches of abortion facilities; Section 4 deems anyone who violates S.B. 642 guilty of a felony, punishable by fines of up $100,000 per day of violation. Burns and his pro-abortion attorneys have challenged pro-life laws in Oklahoma at least eight times since 2010, according to the report. Burns also challenged the state’s admitting privileges law and its ultrasound law, which the courts struck down. http://liberallogic101.com/?p=42098
