Senator Lawler a ‘Late-Comer’ to Pro-Life Movement; Should Stop Criticism of House

Senate Republican Leader Glenn Coffee said Democrat State Sen. Daisy Lawler is a “late-comer” to the pro-life movement at the state Legislature and should stop her criticism of pro-life House Republicans, who have a long history of promoting and supporting pro-life legislation.

“Sen. Lawler is a latecomer to the pro-life movement at the Capitol, and she has very little credibility to criticize anyone on the life issue given her voting record,” stated Coffee, R-Oklahoma City.

On April 28, 2003, Lawler joined fellow Senate Democrats in voting unanimously against a pro-life “informed consent” amendment that was added to Senate Bill 492 by the House of Representatives.

“Sadly, if Sen. Lawler and a few more Senate Democrats had taken a pro-life position back in 2003, we could have implemented the protections for the unborn two years ago that she is now advocating,” Coffee said.
