Oklahoma: House Passes Two Abortion Bills

Blogged under State Legislation, Oklahoma by admin on Saturday 25 February 2006 at 7:10 pm

The Oklahoma House Thursday passed two bills that anti-choice advocated say will reduce the number of abortions in the state.

KETN has more:

One bill requires a woman under the age of 18 to get consent from her parents before she can get an abortion. The second requires doctors to inform patients that if they are more than 20 weeks pregnant their fetus could feel pain during an abortion.The only doctor in the House is Representative Doug Cox and he voted against both bills. Cox says they would be a burden to doctors and interfere with the doctor-patient relationship.Cox also says parental notification would cause problems for some young women who are victims of incest.The bills now go to the Senate where many previous anti-abortion bills have died in committee.
