A state senator in Oklahoma has proposed a bill that would classify abortion as a felony homicide, arguing that abortion can be considered as an act of taking a human life.

“It’s going to be classified as a homicide because, essentially, a fertilized egg is a human life just like a 1-year-old baby is a human life,” Sen. Joseph Silk, a Republican, told KFOR.
