Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford speaking at the Oklahoma Memorial Union during the "Sooners For Life" event, April 18.
Sooners for Life hosts Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford to discuss life ‘post-Roe v. Wade,’ Senate Bill 612
Sooners for Life hosted Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) Monday afternoon in the Oklahoma Memorial Union to discuss what life would look like “post-Roe v. Wade” almost a week after a near-total abortion ban was signed by Gov. Kevin Stitt. The hour-long discussion, led by the President of Students for Life of America Kristan Hawkins, was contextualized by Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which addresses a 2018 Mississippi law called the Gestational Age Act prohibiting all abortions, with few exceptions, after 15 weeks in the womb. In the context of Roe v. Wade, which protects a woman’s choice to have an abortion, the Supreme Court is working to decide whether Mississippi’s law is unconstitutional.

Former Oklahoma senior guard Elijah Harkless has committed to UNLV, he announced on Monday. Harkless reportedly entered the NCAA Transfer Portal on April 11. Harkless averaged 10 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game before missing the remainder of the season due to a knee injury. He was also benched for junior forward Jacob Groves vs. Baylor on Jan. 22, and became the first player to leave Oklahoma this offseason. Despite his struggles last season, Harkless was named an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention.
