White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre full-throatedly condemned a new abortion bill Oklahoma's Legislature passed Thursday. She called it 'extreme,' 'absurd' and 'ultra-MAGA.'
Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre speaks during the daily briefing at the White House, Wednesday, May 18, 2022.
"This is part of a growing effort by ultra MAGA officials across the country to roll back the freedoms we should not take for granted in this country," Jean-Pierre added, referencing a Biden administration term playing off of former President Trump's 2016 slogan,"Make America Great Again." Stitt signed another bill that will make performing abortion a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. That will take effect later this year.OKLAHOMA GOVERNOR SIGNS TEXAS-STYLE ABORTION BAN INTO LAW
"Today, Oklahoma passed a law effectively banning abortion from the moment of fertilization—the latest in a series of blatant attacks on women by extremist legislators," Vice President Kamala Harris tweeted in response to the bill's passage."It has never been more urgent that we elect pro-choice leaders at the local, state, and federal level."
