During Fox News’ “The Next Revolution” on Sunday night, Sara A. Carter advocated for “random sampling” throughout the country, in order to understand the coronavirus and its spread.

“We need random sampling to understand this pathogen. And doctors have said this over and over again. Experts have said this. The Stanford study is an example of that in Santa Clara,” Carter explained.

She added, “To understand this pathogen, you don’t need to test everybody, you just need random sampling throughout the country to truly understand this. We may have already developed a certain herd immunity to the virus anyways, to the Wuhan virus.”

In the Stanford Study, in which Carter was referring to, health officials tested 3,300 residents of Santa Clara for the coronavirus antibody. Having the antibody would mean the person already had the virus and survived it, whether symptomatic or not. The study found that the virus “is much more widespread than indicated by the number of confirmed cases.”

Oklahoma passes bill banning majority of abortions from ‘moment of fertilization’

Oklahoma’s Republican Governor Kevin Stitt signed a bill into law on Wednesday which bans virtually all abortions “from the moment of fertilization.”

“I promised Oklahomans that as governor I would sign every piece of pro-life legislation that came across my desk and I am proud to keep that promise today. From the moment life begins at conception is when we have a responsibility as human beings to do everything we can to protect that baby’s life and the life of the mother,” Stitt said in a statement. “That is what I believe and that is what the majority of Oklahomans believe.”

The state legislature first approved the bill, which goes into effect immediately, last week. It bans abortions from the moment of fertilization, except for in cases where rape or incest occurred, or where the mother’s life is in danger.

The law also allows for private citizens to sue doctors or those who participate in “producing an abortion for up to $10,000, mimicking the enforcement mechanism in Texas’s fetal heartbeat law” reports National Review.

Under the new law it is a felony offense to perform an abortion, “which will take effect in August unless a court challenge blocks it.”
