Today, Liberty Counsel filed a petition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review the Oklahoma Supreme Court’s decision removing a proposed Personhood citizen-initiative from the ballot.

Earlier this year, Personhood Oklahoma, a pro-life citizens group, filed an initiative to amend the Oklahoma Constitution to define “person” as “any human being from the beginning of the biological development of that human being to natural death.”

Shortly after the Secretary of State approved the initiative, however, the ACLU, the Center for Reproductive Rights, and other abortion activists filed a protest with the Oklahoma Supreme Court against the initiative. They claimed that defining “person” as proposed in the initiative would violate the Supreme Court’s abortion decisions. Rather than rule on the procedural issues, the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled on the substance of the initiative language and stated the definition of “person” conflicted with the U.S. Supreme Court abortion decisions.

Liberty Counsel argues that the Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled prematurely on whether the definition of “person” conflicts with Supreme Court abortion decisions and, thus, deprived Personhood Oklahoma of its right to propose amendments to the state constitution and deprives Oklahoma voters of their First Amendment right to discuss and consider the issue.

Please pray for this initiative.  Pray that a culture of life returns to America.
