A Republican state lawmaker amended a bill in committee this week to bring back a plan to prohibit mandatory training or counseling on gender or sexual diversity.
Senate Bill 627 dealt with the Red River Boundary Commission until Rep. Danny Williams (R-Seminole) replaced its language with that of House Bill 1888, which was laid over last month and missed the deadline to pass its chamber of origin amid a flood of objections from Oklahomans.
Rep. Cyndi Munson’s (D-Oklahoma City) objection to the amendment was ignored by House General Government Committee Chair Kevin West (R-Moore). Pushed by Munson and Rep. Denise Brewer (D-Tulsa) on not acknowledging the objection, West said the committee had already moved past the time for objections and on to questions on the bill.

Republican state lawmakers on Tuesday continued their attempts to implement sweeping new restrictions on abortion.
House Bill 1102 would add providing an abortion to a list of unprofessional conduct for doctors and require their license be suspended for at least one year. The bill allows an exception for abortions to save a mother’s life or prevent irreversible physical impairment.
Gloria Pedro with Planned Parenthood Great Plains noted GOP lawmakers passed the bill the day after International Women’s Day. HB1102 is just another politically motivated attempt by opponents of abortion to attack providers and intervene in personal and private decisions by playing politics with women’s health. We have to remember, there can be no gender equity without equal access to health care, Pedro said.
