OKLAHOMA CITY – Gov. Kevin Stitt this week signed a bill that will stop abortions from being performed once an unborn child is determined to have a detectable heartbeat.
House Bill 2441 by Rep. Todd Russ, R-Cordell, would allow for abortion only if a medical emergency exists that threatens the life of the mother.
“All life is precious and deserves to be safeguarded,” Russ said.
“This law will decrease the number of abortions performed in our state and protect the lives of innocent unborn babies. I’m thankful to all who helped accomplish this.”
Freezing temperatures that hit much of Oklahoma in mid-April may have wheat growers racing out to their fields to check on potential damage to their crop, but time is on the side of agricultural producers in this instance.
