Oklahoma state Rep. Forrest Bennett (D), who describes himself as a "pragmatic progressive," walked back a legislative proposal that attempted to corner pro-life advocates.
Instead, pro-life advocates and conservatives agreed with the premise of the proposed legislation, while progressives sharply criticized him.
Bennett announced on Twitter that he had introduced HB3129 to codify that "a father’s financial responsibility to his baby & their mom begins at conception."
In fact, it was pointed out that Bennett's proposal undermines the progressive agenda by acknowledging that life begins at conception, biological men are men, and that "having a baby is a shared responsibility between a man and the woman who’s pregnant."
Just introduce a bill that any changes to legal viability or legal definition of life should immediately be enforceable at all levels (child support, taxes..etc)
