.GovStitt signed a bill Wednesday banning abortion from the moment of conception, making Oklahoma the state with the strictest abortion law.
The bill, HB 4327, prohibits physicians from performing abortions at any point in a pregnancy unless it is to save the life of the mother or if the pregnancy is the result of incest, rape, or sexual assault that has been properly reported to law enforcement. Litigation aimed at stopping the law is already in the works.
“There can be no higher cause for you and I to address in this body, madam speaker, than the protection of innocent unborn life,” state Rep. Jim Olsen, a Republican, said on the House floor Thursday, according to the New York Times.
