Personhood introduced in Oklahoma

As reported in the Tulsa World, Oklahoma State Rep Mike Reynolds has introduced HB 1029, The Personhood Act:

A. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "Personhood Act of 2013".

B. The Oklahoma Legislature finds that:

1. The life of each human being begins at conception;
2. Unborn children have protectable interests in life, health, and well-being; and
3. The natural parents of unborn children have protectable interests in the life, health, and well-being of their unborn child.

C. The laws of this state shall be interpreted and construed to acknowledge on behalf of the unborn child at every stage of development all the rights, privileges, and immunities available to other persons, citizens, and residents of this state.

D. As used in this section, “unborn child” or “unborn children” shall include all unborn children or the offspring of human beings from the moment of conception until birth at every stage of biological development.

E. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as creating a cause of action against a woman for indirectly harming her unborn child by failing to properly care for herself or by failing to follow any particular program of prenatal care.

F. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as applying to spontaneous miscarriages.

Bravo, Rep Reynolds.
