The Oklahoma House passed Senate Bill 614, by Sen. Julie Daniels, R-Bartlesville, which requires abortionists to tell women who have begun drug-induced abortions about an antidote that can reverse the abortion drug.
Pro-abortion Democrats opposed the bill.
“Whether you’re pro-life or pro-choice, this is a bad bill,” said Rep. Meloyde Blancett, D-Tulsa, who is pro-abortion.
The penalty for abortionists who fail to inform women about the medicine would be a felony.
The bill states: “Any private office, freestanding outpatient clinic, hospital or other facility or clinic in which medication abortions that use mifepristone are provided shall conspicuously post a sign in a location defined in paragraph 3 of this subsection so as to be clearly visible to patients, which reads:
“‘Notice to patients having medication abortions which use mifepristone: Mifepristone, also known as RU-486 or Mifeprex, alone is not always effective in ending a pregnancy. It may be possible to reverse its intended effect if the second pill or tablet has not been taken or administered. If you change your mind and wish to try to continue the pregnancy, you can get immediate help by calling the Abortion Pill Reversal 24-hour Hotline at 877-558-0333 or going to website www.abortionpillreversal.com. Additional information is available on the State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision’s website, www.awomansright.org, which provides informed consent materials under the Woman’s Right-to-Know Act, including information about the development of the unborn child and video of ultrasound images of the unborn child at various stages of development.’”
