Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt has declared June 2025 as “Month for Life” in the state, a move hailed by pro-life advocates as a powerful affirmation of the sanctity of life from conception.
The proclamation, signed Monday, underscores Oklahoma’s commitment to protecting the unborn and supporting families, further solidifying the state’s position as a leader in the pro-life movement.
Stitt announced the proclamation in a post on X, emphasizing three core principles: “Life begins at conception, we’re committed to supporting moms every step, and God has a plan for every life.”

The governor also highlighted resources available to families through a state website, aimed at assisting parents before, during, and after pregnancy, including adoption services and financial assistance programs.
The proclamation, issued by the state’s Executive Department, recognizes the “inherent dignity and value of every human life” and praises the efforts of organizations like March for Life for their advocacy. It notes the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., which draws hundreds of thousands to advocate for the protection of the unborn, and highlights Oklahoma’s own March for Life event scheduled for June 8, encouraging citizens to join in solidarity.
“Oklahoma has long been a beacon of hope for the unborn, and this proclamation reaffirms our unwavering commitment to fostering a culture of life,” Stitt said in a statement. “We believe in supporting mothers and families at every stage, ensuring they have the resources they need to thrive.”
The declaration comes on the heels of recent legislative victories for the pro-life movement in Oklahoma.
On May 27, Stitt signed Senate Bill 1027 into law, a measure that strengthens the state’s near-total abortion ban by reforming the initiative petition process. The law caps the number of signatures that can be collected from each county for state ballot questions, making it more difficult for pro-abortion groups to challenge the ban through voter initiatives. Pro-life advocates, including Oklahomans for Life, praised the move as a critical step in protecting women and unborn children.
Oklahoma’s abortion ban, enacted following the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, prohibits abortions except to save the life of the mother or in cases of rape or incest reported to law enforcement. The state has also implemented other pro-life measures in recent years, including a 2021 law banning abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected.
Stitt’s office also pointed to the state’s broader efforts to support families, including programs listed on the website referenced in the proclamation. These resources offer assistance with pregnancy, parenting, adoption, and financial needs, aiming to ensure that “you are not alone,” as the site states.
As Oklahoma marks Month for Life, pro-life advocates hope the proclamation will inspire other states to follow suit in prioritizing the protection of the unborn and supporting families. For now, Oklahoma remains a stronghold for the pro-life movement, with Stitt’s latest actions reinforcing the state’s dedication to its values.
