“It’s about the fundamental right of the people of a state, in this case the state of Oklahoma, to decide for themselves what the law in their own state should be, and to simply propose for debate and discussion — and ultimately for a vote — certain issues of great importance,” he says.
Crampton says the question is equal access to the political process. He adds that the citizens of Oklahoma had met all the procedural requirements of letting voters decide the personhood issue.
