Think the dangerous qualification was cited in ACLJ Amicus brief, on their war on abortion, a few years ago: the assertion was made that Roe v. Wade suggested that some future board might establish that the embryo was a "person" after all. In which case? Roe v. Wade would be invalidated.

I'm still looking for the sources .... But? The Democratic party should CALL THEIR LAWYERS IMMEDIATELY. This bill is about to be signed into law, in Oklahoma it seems. I'm sure their legal staffs can track this down.
