Oklahoma state House approves bill to make abortion illegal
The Oklahoma House has given final legislative approval to a bill that would make performing an abortion a felony
Yep. Straight-up, if this gets signed into law by the governor (who, for the record, has said he will sign any anti-abortion bill, because fuck you), abortions will be flat-out illegal unless performed to save the life of the mother. Any other abortions will result in the doctor facing felony charges, with a potential punishment of 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine. But don't worry, that's to punish the doctor, not the woman, in the words of state representative Jim Olsen.
We knew this was coming, it was just going to be a matter of what state would stop trying to find an arbitrary X weeks deadline and just flat-out say "No abortions unless deemed medically necessary".
