Oklahoma Legislature Overrides Governor’s Veto

AUL’s Oklahoma State Network Affiliate, Maressa Treat sends the following message about activity in her state.

Last night Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry vetoed SB 1878, an omnibus pro-life bill, but today pro-life legislators came together and overrode the veto!

The Oklahoma State Senate voted at 11:00 am to override Governor Henry’s veto, 37-11. And thirty minutes later the Oklahoma House voted 81-15 to override.

Thanks to many prayers and our pro-life legislators working fast to defend the sanctity of life, SB 1878 has become law.
