Oklahoma Passes Bill Making Performing Abortion a Felony
--------------------------------------------------------

The Oklahoma Senate has passed a bill that makes performing an abortion
a felony punishable by up to three years in prison. Oklahoma Governor
Mary Fallin has not said whether she will sign the bill. Pro-choice
groups say the bill is unconstitutional and will not stand up to a legal
challenge.
