I also give blood because when my mom was four years old, she was anemic and needed a blood transfusion. If we didn't have blood donors then, many of our lives would be different today. Let's all give back.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — While hundreds of anti-abortion activists descended on the Oklahoma Capitol for a rally on Wednesday, a GOP-led House committee failed to pass an anti-abortion bill in a move that could signal a shift in priorities for Republican lawmakers in a deep-red state.

The 4-4 vote, which only temporarily stalls the bill, is a signal that a...

Mayor Jennifer Clason, who was born in Henryetta, says she always knew about the old city ordinance but t...
