Oklahoma governor signs into law the nation's strictest abortion ban

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.

That is great force women to have babies allow formula shortages and make sure everyone has access to weapons so the can kill them off at school. It will be fine as long as we pray and cry. We can’t keep those here now safe. So bring more!!

Out law viagra while you are at it.

Let’s get real if young people three five seven ten eleven are held really accountable then the twelve sixteen and etc are to as well as great role models hard work and real scaffolding we can see an improvement in society but laws are everywhere and it never applies

Not in my book. People have zero rts

Where is the law for men’s vasectomy?

I wish they spent this much energy on gun control and safety

Who cares.

No one wants to live in Oklahoma anyway! what a shameful decision! And have no respect for women’s bodies and decisions.

This just means California will be overrun by Okies.

But it’s ok to kill babies while at school?

All babies that can not be aborted for any legal reason should be taken to the Governor’s home. Let him take care of them.

If hair replacement was banned the Oklahoma Governor would probably drive to another state to get it

Who cares Oklahoma is a piece of 💩 anyway time to leave that old head state for good

My wife Jean and I agree with you. God bless the Oklahoma Governor.

But guns are Ok? Asking for a friend

Mass exodus. It will destroy the OK tax base and put the government out of business.

How about strictest gun control? Why are people so for abortion but not for saving the lives already on this earth? 🤔

How come they don't think school children have right to life rather than being slaughtered in mass shootings?

It’s amazing how quick the Republicans Governor will act on abortions and canceling the masks mandates but each Republicans Governor will refuse to act on gun control

Wrong hill to die on this week.

Bodily autonomy is another human right. We could do this all day.

Abortion is not contraception.use contraception.

Coat hangars it is 🔥🔥😈

Happiness is ……. NOT living in a RED state.

Same policy as trying to ban guns. It's pointless and people will still get what they want

'Life is a human right' unless that life is taken in a mass shooting I suppose

Men care too much about all the pussy they cant get so instead of working on themselves theyre taking away womens rights to bodily autonomy and consent

Oklahoma Gov. signs into law near-total abortion ban starting at fertilizationNEW: Oklahoma Gov. Stitt has signed into law a bill aimed at banning all abortions beginning at fertilization. The bill will be enforced by lawsuits from private citizens, encouraging people to sue those suspected of helping a person get an abortion. Laws of this kind will be remembered as the nascent beginnings of the Citizen STASI in the US. That is if the resulting police state allows it to be remembered in history books. Please note that most fertilized eggs don’t implant. How’s Oklahoma going to deal with that? Finally, we can accept that human rights are human rights.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp defeats David Perdue in GOP primaryRepublican Gov. Brian Kemp and Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams will face each other once again in a rematch of the 2018 race that is likely to be one of the nation’s most expensive and closely watched. Kemp easily turned back a GOP primary challenge Tuesday from former U.S. Sen. David Perdue, who was backed by former President Donald Trump as retribution for Kemp not going along with Trump's effort to overturn his defeat in Georgia’s 2020 election. Kemp survived the challenge by using the power of his incumbency to push a raft of legislation through Georgia’s Republican-controlled legislature.
