The Oklahoma Supreme Court struck down the Personhood Initiative, yesterday, as unconstitutional under the federal constitution before it was even placed before the voters. In its two page opinion, the court held that the proposed Personhood amendment violated the Fourteenth Amendment as interpreted in the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Personhood Oklahoma, the sponsor of the initiative, was represented by Liberty Counsel.

The court’s actions here were premature at best and profoundly overreaching at worst. This proposed amendment did nothing more than define a term in the state constitution and would not have immediately impacted abortion. Moreover, the people of Oklahoma are constitutionally guaranteed the power to propose laws and amendments to the constitution. This ruling effectively nullifies that right and denies the citizens of Oklahoma their right to vote on the matter.  Personhood Oklahoma will appeal the ruling to the United States Supreme Court.
