Legislation seeking to stop abortions through civil rather than criminal action was passed Thursday morning and sent to the governor by the Oklahoma House of Representatives.
Gov. Kevin Stitt is expected to sign the bill.
Stitt has already signed two bills this session imposing criminal penalties for abortion providers and one other allowing civil actions by anyone claiming to have suffered damages as the result of an abortion.
But House Bill 4327, by Rep. Wendi Stearman, R-Collinsville, is considered by many stricter than those measures. It defines abortion as any intentional ending of a pregnancy between fertilization and delivery, except in cases of rape and incest when reported to police and to save the woman's life, including ectopic pregnancies.
