Rep. Justin Humphrey, R-Lane, has filed House Bill 2900 seeking to make abortion murder. State law in Oklahoma already makes abortion illegal unless it is committed by a licensed physician.

There were efforts in the Oklahoma Legislature to abolish abortion in the 2019 session but they were blocked from votes in committees by self-proclaimed “pro-life” Republican leaders. Most of the recent laws passed to restrict abortion have been overturned by the liberal Oklahoma Supreme Court

The 2020 legislative session will reconvene on February 3.
