Questions are mounting over President Joe Biden’s pick for Oklahoma district court judge.<\/p>\n

Sara Hill has been accused of lying<\/a> during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday and has also been criticized for failing<\/a> to answer a basic question on the difference between a “stay order” and an “injunction.” This has led to worry that she is not qualified to be a district judge. But another deep concern is growing over the impact she could have on the pro-life state of Oklahoma should she be appointed as a district judge.<\/p>\n

As the attorney general of the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma up until August 2023, Hill had the opportunity to recommend that tribal law be updated to match a state law that was enacted<\/a> in April 2022 and took effect in August 2022, making it a felony to commit an abortion in the state. Without her recommendation, that law was not enacted by the Cherokee Nation Tribal Council. In a video<\/a> of Hill speaking at a tribal council meeting, she said she had “no intent to update their criminal codes,” essentially ignoring the state’s pro-life law.<\/p>\n
