“I think no matter what side you’re on, a voice is your voice and that’s a voice that needs to be heightened because it’s something that here in America, it’s what we have our rights to is our freedom of our voice and I feel like that is something I should show support of, especially since I’m an individual who is going to be representing a certain district,”
(The Durant Daily Democrat) “My family’s been a part of the Bryan County area for six generations, so seeing something like Colton’s Run going on has always made my heart. It’s always been deep and near to my heart, and I always want to show support anywhere I can when it comes to community.”

“The abortion pill doesn’t just kill a baby. It doesn’t just decimate a mother through serious physical and mental health problems and never-ending regrets. The abortion pill wipes out generations of unborn lives. I’m proud the Senate took this significant step today to protect innocent babies, and I look forward to the governor signing this bill.”
(Oklahoma State Senate) “I've worked for several years to get this bill to this stage, and I'm glad to see it finally on its way to the governor. I'm thankful for Senator Bullard's passion on this matter and his tenacity to see this through. I'm thankful, as well, for all my House and Senate colleagues who see the importance of this measure. I pray the governor will swiftly sign this into law.”
(Oklahoma State Senate) “Defend and promote our Constitution and rights of exercise of faith, protection of freedom and ending abortion.”
