Oklahoma Governor Signs Texas-Style Abortion Ban Into Law

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed the state’s Texas-style abortion ban into law Monday evening.

Oklahoma Senate Bill 1503, also known as the Oklahoma Heartbeat Act, bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat can be detected, about six weeks into the pregnancy. Like Texas’ trail blazing abortion law, the Oklahoma law is enforced by civil lawsuits on abortion providers and anyone who “aids and abets” procuring an abortion.
