Oklahoma Republican Candidate Wants 'Public Shaming' for People Who Divorce

Hopefully, he isn't the only Republican in his district running for state senator.

Well he won....his first actions.....to post this on X

“Here in Oklahoma, it’s time to abolish abortion, abolish pornography, abolish the state income tax and give power and equal representation back to the people!”

Deevers won his seat in the Oklahoma state legislature after its former occupant resigned for another job. On his campaign website, Deevers says that he supports Oklahoma’s version of the Prenatal Equal Protection Act, which was introduced in 2023. That bill eliminates language that would block Oklahoma prosecutors from targeting pregnant people for “causing the death of the unborn child”. Its sponsor, whose 2020 election was supported by the abolitionist group Free the States, did not immediately reply to a request for comment.

“This bill would abolish abortion by making preborn children equal under law and closing the loopholes which allow for self-managed abortion,” Deevers’ campaign website reads, adding, “I am 100% against abortion and for its abolition.”

I wonder if Deevers supports the death penalty for all women who get abortions. Since he isn't in a position to decide against individual abortion cases, he can get a pass on that no matter how flat out extreme his views are on abortion as his election victory proves.

At least his suggestion to abolish the state income tax isn't far out radical. But how to replace the lost revenue makes actually doing it difficult as reflected by the fact that Republicans can't even figure out how to repeal the state sales tax on groceries.

I don't know what he means to give power and equal representation back to the people. After all their victories for years, I figure Republicans thought they own all that and it's no problem to them.
