Pro-Lifers Support Henry Veto Override

On Wednesday afternoon the Oklahoma Senate apparently will vote again on a motion to override Governor Brad Henry's veto of pro-life Senate Bill 714, supporters of the bill say, and they have asked supporters to contact four Democrats who have been both for and against it.

The vote is expected to occur shortly after 1:30 p.m.

"If you can come to the Capitol for the vote, you might arrive early and try to visit during the noon hour with the senators listed below," wrote Tony Lauinger of Oklahomans For Life in an email to supporters today. "There are four Democratic senators who voted for SB 714 earlier in the process, and have since reversed their position and voted against the pro-life bill. They, their hometowns (and other major district towns), Capitol phone numbers (leave message on voice mail after hours), and email addresses, are: 1) Charlie Laster, Shawnee, 405-521-55392); Nancy Riley, Tulsa, 405-521-56003); Joe Sweeden, Pawhuska, 405-521-55814); Charles Wyrick, Fairland, (Miami, Grove) 405-521- 5561. Please urge these senators to support the pro-life bill, as they had earlier in the legislative session, and to vote to override the Governor's veto. To send an email to all four senators, just send to this address Pro-LifeBill@OkForLife.org and your message will reach all four of them," Lauinger wrote.
