Oklahoma Senate approves Texas-style anti-abortion law allowing private lawsuits -- House expected to pass it as well. Oklahoma's governor said he would sign any anti-abortion bill sent to him. texasnews
The full Senate approved each of the bills on Thursday and sent them to the House, where they're likely to pass. Oklahoma's Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt has said he would sign any anti-abortion bill sent to him by the Legislature.
The Texas-style ban authorizes private civil actions to be brought against anyone performing an abortion after the cardiac activity has been detected in the fetus. Another bill would prohibit abortions after 30 days from a woman's last period before most women know they are pregnant. "It is my sincere hope federal legal precedents allowing abortion are overturned, restoring Oklahoma's ability to prohibit abortion once again," Senate President Pro Tempore Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City, who authored several of the bills, said in a statement.
Oklahoma abortion clinics have seen an influx in the number of women coming from Texas since that state-approved its new law that is considered the nation's most restrictive abortion law in decades."After enduring six months of the health care crisis caused by Texas' S.B. 8, it's stunning that the response from the Oklahoma Senate is to double down on the intentional cruelty of S.B.
