Oklahoma lawmakers have passed a bill banning abortion from the moment of 'fertilization.' The measure now goes to the governor and is among the nation's strictest.
Washington Oklahoma's legislature on Thursday passed a bill that would ban abortions from the stage of"fertilization" and allow private citizens to sue abortion providers who"knowingly" perform or induce an abortion"on a pregnant woman."
The legislation is among the nation's strictest bills on abortion and is a clear rebuke of the protections granted in the landmark 1973 case Roe v. Wade, with abortion rights advocates vowing to mount a legal challenge should it be signed into law. The bill prohibits abortions at any stage of pregnancy, with exceptions for medical emergencies or if the pregnancy was a result of rape, sexual assault or incest and reported to law enforcement.
