Rep. Kern Votes for More Government Involvement in Medical Decisions

Oklahoma City, OK – March 2, 2010

According to the website of Rep. Sally Kern, she “believes in limited government” and “the U.S. Constitution.” This session, however, Rep. Kern has taken positions that run counter to these stated beliefs, instead pushing for more government involvement in the private lives of Oklahomans.

Rep. Kern’s opponent in the upcoming November election, Brittany Novotny states:

“This session, Rep. Kern has shown that ‘limited government’ is nothing more than a political buzzword for her campaign. She introduced HB 2279, which ‘would eliminate the incompatibility grounds when there are living minor children in the marriage, the parties have been married 10 years or longer, or if either party files a written objection to the divorce.’ Somehow, in Rep. Kern’s world, adding more government restrictions into the lives of Oklahomans is ‘limited government.’”

Just today, Rep. Kern voted to add more restrictions into the private medical decisions of Oklahoma women, requiring that women obtain an ultrasound before procuring an otherwise legal medical service. “You can’t be for limited government and pass legislation that adds more government interference into the lives of Oklahomans,” said Novotny.
