Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt recently signed an executive order stopping the flow of taxpayer funds to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers.

From LifeNews:
Stitt has issued an executive order blocking Medicaid funds from entities and individuals affiliated with abortion businesses.
“Oklahoma is a pro-life state, and our policies should reflect that at every level of our government,” Stitt said in a news release. “We won’t allow tax dollars to indirectly subsidize and flow into the abortion industry under the guise of women’s health. My order makes sure every public dollar aligns with our values and supports providers who respect life at every stage.”
The executive order issued late Thursday directs the Oklahoma Health Care Authority (OHCA) to terminate and refuse to renew any SoonerCare contracts with entities that perform, refer to or are affiliated with abortion services. SoonerCare is the state’s Medicaid program. This ensures that taxpayer dollars are not directed to abortion companies.
LifeNews notes that, while Oklahoma currently bans abortion, Planned Parenthood clinics are still operational in the state, scheduling out-of-state abortions for any who ask. IFA President/CEO David Kubal discussed this new strategy on a recent First Friday webcast. You can watch that webcast below:
Perhaps this executive order will end Planned Parenthood’s presence in Oklahoma for good.
LifeNews also notes that this decision came after the Supreme Court’s decision in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic to allow South Caroline to revoke the abortion provider’s Medicaid funding. Now, Oklahoma has followed in South Carolina’s footsteps.
Let’s pray. Let’s ask God to inspire more states to take this kind of decisive action against Planned Parenthood!

I am the 223rd person to pray and ask:
Proverbs 6:16, Revelation 21:8, Luke 5:32
LORD, please ensure all funding to Planned Parenthood is cut off. You say that You hate hands that shed innocent blood, that the end for murderers will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur… the second death. Please remove the protection surrounding Planned Parenthood and in Your holy fire, bring sorrow to each heart to repent and call to You for Salvation. I ask this and so much more in the Name of Jesus Christ. He said, “I didn’t come to invite good people to turn to God. I came to invite sinners.” For Your glory and the lives of countless children who are in danger of death, may all complicit hear and come. Amen
