Oklahoma governor signs bill to ban abortion if SCOTUS rules
Oklahoma | April 29, 2021
Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt has signed legislation to immediately outlaw abortion in Oklahoma if the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the 1973 case that legalized abortion.
Stitt signed the so-called “trigger” bill late Tuesday. The law would become effective once the attorney general has determined that the U.S. Supreme Court has overruled the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion.
On Wednesday, the governor signed an additional 28 House bills and 28 Senate bills into law and vetoed three others.
