Oklahoma Governor Signs Bills Outlawing Nearly All Abortions
------------------------------------------------------------

Oklahoma's Republican Governor Kevin Stitt has signed several bills that
would make abortions almost completely illegal statewide. One bill would
revoke the medical license of any Oklahoma doctor who performs an
abortion, except in very rare circumstances; another bill bans abortions
around six weeks of pregnancy; and a third requires doctors who perform
abortions be board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology. The
legislation will face immediate legal challenges.
