AUL Applauds Oklahoma -- 6th State to Opt Out of Taxpayer-Funded Abortion
Contact: Matthew Faraci, Americans United for Life, 202-556-1994, press@aul.org
WASHINGTON, May 24 /Standard Newswire/ -- Today, the Oklahoma legislature cleared a final legislative hurdle and will now send a bill to the Governor to opt the state out of the abortion mandate created by the new federal health care law. Americans United for Life applauds the Oklahoma legislature for becoming the 6th state to opt out.
"More than 70% of voters oppose the use of public funds for abortion; that's why the state-by-state opt out movement continues to gain momentum," said AUL spokesman Matthew Faraci. "Oklahoma's leadership on this issue serves as an example to other states looking to pass similar laws."
So far, the opt-out bills in Arizona and Tennessee have become law and bills in Florida, Mississippi, and Missouri are pending action by the state's governor.

The first national pro-life organization in America, AUL has been committed to defending human life through vigorous judicial, legislative, and educational efforts at both the federal and state levels since 1971.
AUL's legal team has been involved in every pro-life case before the U.S. Supreme Court including the successful defense of the Hyde Amendment. AUL also publishes Defending Life, the most comprehensive state-by-state legal guide of its kind, which is distributed annually to legislators across the nation.
Recently, Americans United for Life detailed the facts on taxpayer-funding of abortion during the debate over federal health care legislation, provided legal assistance to states working to opt out of abortion provisions created by federal health care law, and has played a major role in educating policymakers on the record of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan.
