Oklahoma Legislature passes bill that would ban nearly all abortions in the state

The Oklahoma state legislature passed the most restriction abortion ban in the country.

The Oklahoma Legislature passed a bill that would ban abortion at conception, making it the most restrictive abortion ban in the country if it goes into effect.

There are exceptions in cases of saving the life of the mother, rape or incest.

The bill, HB 4327, which would go into effect immediately if signed by the governor, is modeled after a controversial Texas law that opens up providers and anyone who "aids and abets" an abortion to civil lawsuits.

Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a similar six-week ban into law earlier this month.
