The governor of Oklahoma signed state legislation Tuesday making it a felony to perform an abortion in the state.
Under Senate Bill 612, “a person shall not purposely perform or attempt to perform an abortion except to save the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency.”
Anyone convicted of “performing or attempting to perform an abortion shall be guilty of a felony punishable by a fine not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), or by confinement in the custody of the Department of Corrections for a term not to exceed ten (10) years, or by such fine and imprisonment.”
“I promised Oklahomans that I would sign every pro-life bill that hits my desk and that’s what we’re doing today,” Republican Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, a father of six, said Tuesday as he signed the legislation, the Washington Post reported. “We want Oklahoma to be the most pro-life state in the country. We want to outlaw abortion in the state of Oklahoma.”
Oklahoma’s new law comes as Republican lawmakers across the country quickly enact legislation that bans abortion ahead of the major Supreme Court case Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, in which the court may overturn Roe v. Wade, sending the power to decide abortion laws back to the states.
“From my first day in office, protecting the unborn has been one of my top priorities,” said Republican state senator Nathan Dahm, the author of the bill, who is now running for congress. “Senate Bill 612 is the strongest pro-life legislation in the country right now, which effectively eliminates abortion in Oklahoma.”
“The Declaration of Independence states that our rights come from our creator, and that among those rights is the right to life, and that governments are instituted to secure those rights,” he added. “It is far past time that the government of the state of Oklahoma defend the right to life.”
Dahm emphasized that “those of us in elected office have a responsibility to defend the rights of the people.”
