Anti-choice legislation advanced in Oklahoma and Arizona last week, and a Mississippi Republican proposed a bill even more extreme than the state's near-total abortion ban.
As the plaintiffs explain in their complaint, the "abortion reversal" law demands that physicians provide state-mandated ideology that is at odds with universally recognized standards of medical care.
State Sen. Joseph Silk said his frustration with what he deemed Oklahoma’s “very liberal” leadership led him to run for Congress—even though the state’s legislature is dominated by Republicans.
Joseph Silk is among a growing number of anti-choice activists holding or running for office who have called for the right to legal abortion to be ignored.
