Oklahoma Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a near-total ban on abortion Tuesday making the procedure a felony, with medical emergencies the sole exception.

“I promised Oklahomans that I would sign every pro-life bill that hit my desks, and that’s what we’re doing here today,” Stitt said at a morning signing ceremony. “We want Oklahoma to be the most pro-life state in the country. We want to outlaw abortion in the state of Oklahoma.”
