They have too much money and don't put it to go use to grow small businesses or invest in the USA economy. Control, oppression and regressive priorities come before any other good works. If Preachers can't grow their congregations willingly then they need to accept the fact they will never do it through government intimidation.
Oklahoma is ranked 5th in the nation in Teen Pregnancies. (click here) It is way over the national average. 50.4% of their teen pregnancy rate occurs between the ages of 15 through 19. These young women need to have options. Oklahoma is ridiculous.
This is just a little disconnected from reality. Just a little. Yet, leo94 is supposed to believe prayers will prevent an unwanted pregnancy. Right.

Prayer for my girlfriend not to be pregnant yet. (click here)
Seventeen year old can't determine their own outcomes? It is no uncommon for 16 year olds to be treated as adults in any criminal-justice system in Oklahoma. That holds true for most of the Southern states. If a sixteen year old, or sometimes as young as 13, can be treated as an adult for a crime, then I think they can decide their outcomes should they have an unwanted pregnancy. Parents need an option for their teens. If they are sexually active as many are they need to be able to problem solve when they come home with an unwanted pregnancy.

OKLAHOMA CITY - A state law that puts restrictions on the emergency contraceptive drug Plan B One-Step was put on hold Monday by a temporary injunction issued by Oklahoma County District Judge Lisa Davis.
A section of House Bill 2226, which deals with health insurance forms, requires women and girls age 17 and older to show identification to a pharmacist to obtain the drug or generic emergency contraceptives. It also requires girls younger than 17 to have a prescription to obtain the drugs....
...Davis said she was granting the injunction (click here) because she believes the plaintiffs' likelihood of success in the suit is fairly strong.
David Brown, a staff attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights, said no other state in the country has such restrictions on the drug.
If the law were to take effect, the plaintiffs would lose rights they currently have, Brown said.
Patrick Wyrick, solicitor general for Pruitt's office, said that for years a prescription was required for the drug, but that requirement was withdrawn recently.
"This has been the law," Wyrick said.
He said the measure did not violate the single-subject rule and is not a special law. He said the measure contained no surprises and was vigorously debated.
All the provisions in the measure relate to prescription drugs, Wyrick said. Because the measure has a common theme, it passes the germaneness test, he said.
Plan B One-Step, called "the morning-after pill," prevents ovulation or fertilization. It can't terminate an existing pregnancy, so it does not cause abortions. It is generally not effective more than 72 hours after sex, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights.
The injunction is expected to remain in place until the case is resolved....

Prayer for my girlfriend not to be pregnant yet. (click here)
Hello everyone, I need help from God to help me out on these
difficult times. I do not want my girlfriend to get pregnant just yet, I
am too young and am not ready for this huge step in my life. This is
not the first time I go through this and the other two times God has
been very helpful and made a mircale to me for her not to be pregnant. I
again ask with all of my apologies of not having learned my lesson for
God to please help me out in this situation, and promise to have learned
my lesson. I will wish not to commit more sins, I would give up
anything in my life for this not to happen, it is just not the moment
yet. Thank you everyone and please help me out God.
