Oklahoma abortionist Larry Burns and the pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Rights have filed a lawsuit against a\u00a0state law which bans\u00a0dismemberment abortions and requires fetal tissue taken from girls younger than fourteen who abort be forwarded to state rape investigators.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit alleges that because the law “contains four separate sections, each of which addresses an entirely different subject,” it is a violation of the Oklahoma Constitution’s requirement that individual pieces of legislation be confined to a single subject.<\/p>\n

However, Republican state Senator Greg Treat, who authored the bill, “feel[s] strongly the bill we drafted is constitutional,” because it addresses only one subject, abortion.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit follows a judge’s decision<\/a> to temporarily stay the law last month.<\/p>\n

Laws such as this one forcing abortionists to send information on statutory rapes and possible forcible rapes have been driven by past instances<\/a> of abortion organizations such as Planned Parenthood failing to report evidence of the sexual abuse of a minor to the authorities, as seen in just one of several\u00a0videos, below:<\/p>\n
