John,
A historic new law to stop abortionists from coercing desperate mothers into having abortions just passed.
This major victory for life might not exist “without the support of the ACLJ.”
Oklahoma’s new Unborn Person Wrongful Death Act gives families the ability to file “wrongful death” lawsuits against abortionists for coerced or fraudulent abortions.
Many women facing what could be the most difficult decision of their lives are not receiving the basic informed consent required under law. In fact, one shocking report found that as many as 69% of abortions in the U.S. are performed without full legal consent.
Abortionists are coercing vulnerable women in order to perform more abortions.
Our legal team drafted a first-of-its-kind law in the nation, working with Oklahoma legislators and the Governor’s office, to defend countless unborn lives. As OK House Majority Floor Leader Jon Echols said, “Without the support of the ACLJ, this bill would not have become law.”
Now victims, women wrongfully coerced into abortions, can sue the abortionists for wrongful death. Not only will this unique pro-life law be difficult for Planned Parenthood and other abortionists to challenge in court, IT WILL SAVE LIVES.
The ACLJ is fighting tirelessly for life, from state legislatures to federal courts, all the way to the Supreme Court. Now we want to take this major breakthrough for life to every state in the nation.
But we can’t achieve these victories and save innocent babies without your support.
Chip In $5 or More to Defend Pro-Life Laws and Save Babies.
