NEW YORK — (NEW YORK) -- The Oklahoma Legislature passed a bill that would ban abortion at conception, making it the most restrictive abortion ban in the country if it goes into effect.
The bill, HB 4327, which would go into effect immediately if signed by the governor, is modeled after a controversial Texas law that opens up providers and anyone who"aids and abets" an abortion to civil lawsuits.Planned Parenthood has already said it plans to challenge the state's latest, more-restrictive abortion ban.
Stitt seems likely to sign the bill into law. When the governor signed the so-called"heartbeat act" into law this month, he said he wanted Oklahoma"to be the most pro-life state in the country." The GOP-led Oklahoma House of Representatives called HB 4327 the"most strongly pro-life bill of its kind by allowing civil liability from conception."
