The first bill of the session passed by the Oklahoma Senate was an anti-abortion statement that life begins at the moment of conception. The Personhood Act received international attention over a proposed amendment from Sen. Constance Johnson (D-Holdenville) that said it was an act against unborn children for men to waste sperm. "A lot of people thought that I was being facetious," Johnson told senators. "But I was serious as a heart attack. ... all we're asking for is for this conversation to include both individuals that are necessary to bring life about."
