The GOP-backed bill that passed the Senate last year now goes to Gov. Kevin Stitt, who has vowed to sign all anti-abortion bills that come to his desk.
The bill would make it a felony to perform abortions except those deemed necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency.
Rep. Jim Olsen, R-Roland, the House author, said the bill requested by anti-abortion group Students for Life will make abortion "entirely illegal."
"The penalties are for the doctor, not for the woman," Olsen said.
Abortion bans could have a devastating effect in Oklahoma and across the region because the Sooner State has become a safe haven for many women seeking an abortion after Texas last year enacted a law that bans most abortions after six weeks into a pregnancy, she said.
Since SB 8 took effect in Texas, Planned Parenthood clinics in Oklahoma have seen an 800% increase in the number of Texans seeking abortions, Wales said.

I hope this gets struck down by the SCOTUS. These people who want to ban abortions are not pro-life, they are PRO-BIRTH. There is a difference. If it really were about life, they would be advocating for universal healthcare, livable wages so it's more feasible to have a baby, quality education everywhere, police reform, etc. Yet they don't. When the kid is born, they complain about single mothers, paying taxes for people on welfare because you're always supposed to pull yourself up by the bootstraps no matter what situation you find yourself in. Here is a good quote from pastor David Barnhart.
“The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.
