"I do not see Christ in your bill", Gollihare said. His reasoning was that this bill was "unconscionable in its means", and that it "did nothing to abolish abortion".
That means that anyone involved in the murder of a preborn child gets punished for it, just like our laws protecting born people from murder work. If a woman pays a hitman to kill their husband, both her and the hitman get prosecuted. This is just. Yet, because SB 456 refuses to show partiality towards women, and wants the law to apply equal justice in the death of an unborn child, Todd Gollihare accused it of being not Christ-like. But what does Christ have to say about abortion? Jesus says to "Love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:39), and He teaches from God's Law, which states, "You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor." (Leviticus 19:15)
This means that if we choose to only prosecute doctors who perform abortions, and refuse to prosecute parents who murder their own preborn children with malice aforethought, we have violated Christ's commands to love our preborn neighbor as ourselves, and to judge in court without partiality.
When Christians went to his church to talk to his pastor and fellow congregants about Gollihare's wicked action in voting down the only bill that would have abolished abortion in Oklahoma, he was so livid that he tried to pass a bill to make this illegal. (SB743) This bill was clearly a direct violation of the 1st amendment, so it was immediately shot down by the courts.
Thankfully, Craig Stump, his opponent, is a proponent of the abolition of abortion. He is a righteous man, who understands that preborn children deserve equal rights, and equal justice under the law. Craig will fight for abortion to be abolished, if he were to win.
