Mere hours after Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed a law<\/a> that protects nearly all preborn human beings in the state, Planned Parenthood and the Center for Reproductive Rights announced<\/a> that they will attempt to block the law from going into effect.<\/p>\n

The Oklahoma law, HB 4327, restricts abortion at fertilization, although it does contain several exceptions, and abortions are still allowed in cases of rape and incest or when the mother’s life is in danger \u2014 though a medical procedure<\/a>\u00a0performed to save a mother’s life (not to kill the child) is not<\/em> an abortion. Like the Texas Heartbeat Act, the law allows private citizens to sue abortionists who commit abortion in the state.<\/p>\n

“For anyone seeking abortion in Oklahoma and beyond: Planned Parenthood and our partners are fighting for you,” Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said in a\u00a0statement<\/a>\u00a0when the bill was signed. “We will bring everything we have to make sure you can get the care you need, and challenge every ban enacted in Oklahoma.”<\/p>\n

The bill’s passage follows that of SB 1503, the state’s “heartbeat act,” which prohibits abortion after around six weeks, when a preborn child’s heartbeat can be detected. The Center of Reproductive Rights, which has already filed a lawsuit against that law, announced that they were going to ask that their challenge to HB 4327 be added to that existing case, which is currently pending before the Oklahoma Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are seeing the beginning of a domino effect that will spread across the entire South and Midwest if\u00a0Roe<\/em>\u00a0falls,\u201d said\u00a0Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights. \u201cBanning abortion after six weeks was not extreme enough for Oklahoma lawmakers. The goal of the anti-abortion movement is to ensure no one can access abortion at any point for any reason. Right now, patients in Oklahoma are being thrown into a state of chaos and fear. That chaos will only intensify as surrounding states cut off access as well.\u00a0We will not stop fighting for the people of Oklahoma and for everyone across the country. We all deserve the freedom to control our own bodies and lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Governor Stitt drew attention to the presence of a new human life at conception, noting, “From the moment life begins at conception is when we have a responsibility as human beings to do everything we can to protect that baby\u2019s life and the life of the mother. That is what I believe and that is what the majority of Oklahomans believe. If other states want to pass different laws, that is their right, but in Oklahoma we will always stand up for life.\u201d<\/p>\n
