It looks like Mary Fallin may be a vertebrate after all!

Last week, the Oklahoma legislature sent a bill to Mary Fallin that would make performing an abortion in Oklahoma a felony. When news trickled out, I figured here we go again – another extremist, unconstitutional anti-abortion law that will not only embarrass us on the national stage, but serve as a contrived distraction to the real problems facing this state, you know, important issues like a $1.3-billion budget crisis, drastic spending cuts to education, absurd tax policies, man-made earthquakes, and nut kicks from Draymond Green.
