By SEAN MURPHY Associated Press Writer OKLAHOMA CITY — Okla - homa lawmakers on Thursday approved a bill prohibiting all abortions with few exceptions, and providers said they would stop performing the procedure as soon as the governor signs it in the latest example of the GOP ’s national push to restrict access to what has been a con- stitutional right for nearly a half century. Oklahoma lawmakers this year already passed a half-dozen anti-abortion measures,and while abortion providersacross the country have beenbracing for the possibility thatthe U.S. Supreme Court’s newconservative majority might further restrict the practice, that has especially been the case in Oklahoma and Texas. Two of Oklahoma’s four abortion clinics already stopped providing abortions af- ter the governor signed a six- week ban earlier this month, and an attorney for the twoother independent clinics saidThursday they will no longeroffer services once the bill issigned. The bill is likely toreach Gov. Kevin Stitt’s deskearly next week, and the first-term Republican running forreelection has already said hewould sign any anti-abortionbill the Legislature sends tohim. It would take effect imme-diately after he signs it.“This bill could go into ef-fect at any time, and once it does, any person can sue theclinic, the doctors, anyone elsewho is involved in providing anabortion in Oklahoma,” saidRabia Muqaddam, an attorneyfor the Center for Reproduc-tive Rights, which is represent-ing Oklahoma clinics in legalchallenges against several pro-posed new anti-abortion laws.The bills are part of an ag-gressive push in Republican-led states across the country toscale back abortion rights. Itcomes on the heels of a leakeddraft opinion from the nation’s high court that suggests jus- tices are considering weaken- ing or overturning the land- mark Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nearly 50 years ago. The bill by Collinsville Re- publican Rep. Wendi Stearman would prohibit all abortions, except to save the life of a pregnant woman or if the preg- nancy is the result of rape or incest that has been reported to law enforcement. “Is our goal to defend the right to life or isn’t it?” Stear - man asked her colleagues be- fore the bill passed on a 73-16 vote, mostly along party lines. The bill specifically autho- rizes doctors to remove a “dead unborn child caused by spontaneous abortion,” or mis- carriage, or to remove an ec- topic pregnancy, a potentially life-threatening emergency that occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, often in a fallopian tube and early in pregnancy.
