Oklahoma Republican Sen. James Lankford declared his position on the pro-life issue in a fiery Twitter post that accused &#8220;the same individuals that work to protect the bald eagle eggs have no problem taking a life in the womb.&#8221;
Lankford posted the strong pro-life statement to Twitter on Friday alongside a video from his remarks during a news conference on abortion at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., prior to the Supreme Court&#8217;s opening arguments regarding a Mississippi abortion restriction law on Wednesday.
&#8220;I don’t understand how the same individuals that work to protect the bald eagle eggs have no problem taking a life in the womb,&#8221; Lankford tweeted.
&#8220;Children are not medical waste. They are beautiful, innocent, and valuable,&#8221; he added.

&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand how infants have become a partisan issue,&#8221; Lankford said in the video.
&#8220;On this issue, I do not understand how some people see a baby sucking their thumb in the womb and they see them only as medical waste,&#8221; he added.
Lankford also questioned how pro-choice advocates deal with the inconsistencies between referring to a woman who has had an abortion and a woman who has experienced a miscarriage.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand how some people can support an abortion in one moment but when they talk to a woman that&#8217;s had a miscarriage, they immediately respond with, &#8216;Oh, I&#8217;m so sorry,'&#8221; he argued.
&#8220;If a miscarriage is the loss of a child, then what&#8217;s an abortion?&#8221; Lankford asked.
In another Twitter post, the Oklahoma senator also addressed the science regarding children in the womb.
&#8220;The science is clear to anyone willing to get past talking points and actually look in the womb,&#8221; Lankford wrote.
&#8220;Abortion is not about random tissue; it’s about a person,&#8221; he added.

Noting the numerical significance of the issue, Lankford also commented that more than 62 million abortions have taken place in America since Roe v. Wade.
&#8220;62 million is the combined population of VT, AK, ND, SD, DE, RI, ME, NH, HI, WV, ID, NE, NM, KS, MS, AR, NV, IA, UT, CT, OR, KY, LA, AL, &amp; OK. That’s how many children have been killed by abortion since Roe v Wade. This is the most consequential case for human rights in 48 years,&#8221; he observed.
