"Christian" legislators

fund scare tactics against pregnant women, but want to hide the truth of what happens when they get their way.

OKLAHOMA CITY Literature which criticizes anti-abortion bills pending in the state House of Representatives was barred from the chamber today.

House officials are also trying to stop the literature from being distributed to state lawmakers' offices.
:::
The leaflets include the statement "Abortion Should Be Prevented, Not Punished" and includes a photo of the body of a woman who died during an abortion before it was legalized by the Supreme Court in 1973.

House spokesman Damon Gardenire says the chamber requires that literature distributed to lawmakers first be filed with the chamber's post office to verify it is not obscene, pornographic or a solicitation.

The head of an anti-abortion group says he didn't know about the post office rule even though his group regularly distributes material at the Capitol.
