Oklahoma Republican-led legislature passes nation’s strictest abortion ban

Bill bans abortion at conception and if signed into law it would allow citizens to sue anyone who aids or abets' a patient

Oklahoma's Republican-led legislature passed the nation's strictest abortion ban on Thursday. The bill, if signed into law, would allows citizens to sue anyone, anywhere who aids or abets" a patient in terminating a pregnancy.

The bill bans abortion from conception, even before an egg implants in the uterus, and would go into effect immediately if signed by Republican governor, Kevin Stitt. Abortion providers expect he will do so before the coming week.
