STATEMENT FROM SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEM GLENN COFFEE ON DISTRICT COURT RULING

“The court ruling that overthrew pro-life legislation is disappointing to say the least, but I am confident the Legislature will work to find a solution to protect such an important issue as the sanctity of life.

“I firmly believe this legislation was in compliance with Oklahoma’s constitution, as it dealt with one subject—protecting life of the unborn. The bipartisan support behind this issue cannot be ignored and ultimately, I believe given the opportunity the constitutionality of this act will be upheld.”
