Chris Rock does not appear to oppose abortion, but at least he’s honest

The Oklahoma House gave final legislative approval on Tuesday to a bill that would make performing an abortion a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

With little discussion and no debate, the Republican-controlled House voted 70-14 to send the bill to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who has previously said he'd sign any anti-abortion bill that comes to his desk.

Enjoying the support of around 37 per cent of voters, PiS remains far ahead of the opposition in the polls.

The U.S. Justice Department promised on Sept. 6 to use its federal powers to protect clinics performing abortions in Texas, the southern state that has adopted highly restrictive legislation on voluntary pregnancy terminations.
