Bill > SB2012

This bill amends existing Oklahoma law regarding abortions, specifically focusing on prosecution restrictions. It removes a provision that prevented a woman from being charged or convicted for any criminal offense in the death of her own unborn child, thereby potentially opening up new avenues for prosecution in such cases. The bill also updates a statutory reference and declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval. The core of the bill concerns the prohibition of abortions, allowing them only to save the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency, which is defined as a condition where delivery is not possible and an abortion is necessary to preserve the woman's life due to a physical disorder, illness, or injury arising from the pregnancy itself.
