State lawmakers approved the ban enforced by civil lawsuits rather than criminal prosecution, similar to a Texas law that was passed last year. The law takes effect immediately upon Stitt's signature and prohibits all abortions with few exceptions. Abortion providers have said they will stop performing the procedure as soon as the bill is signed.
“The impact will be disastrous for Oklahomans,” said Elizabeth Nash, a state policy analyst for the abortion-rights supporting Guttmacher Institute. “It will also have severe ripple effects, especially for Texas patients who had been traveling to Oklahoma in large numbers after the Texas six-week abortion ban went into effect in September.”
The bill specifically authorizes doctors to remove a “dead unborn child caused by spontaneous abortion,” or miscarriage, or to remove an ectopic pregnancy, a potentially life-threatening emergency that occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, often in a fallopian tube and early in pregnancy.
With the state's two remaining abortion clinics expected to stop offering services, it is unclear what will happen to women who qualify under one of the exceptions. The law's author, State Rep. Wendi Stearman, says doctors will be empowered to decide which women qualify and that those abortions will be performed in hospitals. But providers and abortion-rights activists warn that trying to prove qualification could prove difficult and even dangerous in some circumstances.

14 children and teacher dead: Texas Gov.Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has confirmed that 14 students and one teacher have been killed in an elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. I wonder how much money Abbott receives from the NRA... Thank goodness that Texas is a 'pro-life' state. Trying to control women's choices about their bodies yet gun control continues to take innocent lives. Another sad, horrific day in the U.S. 💔😢

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp defeats David Perdue in GOP primaryGeorgia Gov. Brian Kemp defeated his Donald Trump-backed challenger David Perdue on Tuesday after a furious push by the former president to punish Kemp for not overturning the 2020 election results. Kemp's victory sets up another general election race against Democrat Stacey Abrams, who was unopposed in her primary. I wish they would run someone good against Kemp. Abrams is one of the worst politicians i have ever witnessed and is just a platitude machine with no real belief system other than “democrats good”. She’s gonna get her ass kicked again. Off course he did. It was never close. The media just wanted to make it look close and tension filled.
