The Oklahoma Legislature has passed a bill that would make performing an abortion a felony punishable by up to three years in prison.
The Center for Reproductive Rights says the measure is the first of its kind in the nation. The bill also would restrict any physician who performs an abortion from obtaining or renewing a license to practice medicine in Oklahoma.
A spokesman for Gov. Mary Fallin said Thursday that she will withhold comment until her staff has time to review the bill.
