Oklahoma governor signs bill to make nearly all abortions illegal

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Similar anti-abortion bills approved by the Oklahoma legislature and in other conservative states in recent years have been stopped by the courts as unconstitutional, but anti-abortion lawmakers have been buoyed by the US supreme court's decision to allow new Texas abortion restrictions to remain in place.
44% : The new Texas law, the most restrictive anti-abortion law in the US in decades, leaves enforcement up to private citizens, who are entitled to collect what critics call a "bounty" of $10,000 if they bring a successful lawsuit against a provider or anyone who helps a patient obtain an abortion.
38% : A state senator, Nathan Dahm, a Broken Arrow Republican now running for Congress and who wrote the bill, called it the "strongest pro-life legislation in the country right now, which effectively eliminates abortion in Oklahoma".
32% : "Oklahoma legislators are trying to ban abortion from all sides and merely seeing which of these dangerous, shameful bills they can get their governor to sign."
