May 2016

The bill that passed the legislature "struck through" the clause "unless that person is a physician licensed to practice medicine in the State of Oklahoma." It eliminates that clause & now simply reads that no one shall perform an abortion in the state.

The bill would prevent doctors from obtaining or renewing their license if they perform abortions. It would also subject them to 1-3 years in prison.

The only exceptions it provides are for the life of the mother and to remove a miscarried fetus.
