Clip: 5/20/2016 | 3m 46s

The law makes it a felony to perform an abortion

Oklahoma passed a bill which makes it a felony to perform an abortion, except when the mother's life is in danger or to remove a miscarriage. Gov. Mary Fallin has 5 business days to veto the bill, or it will become law. The bill does not allow for exceptions in the case of rape, incest, or other health issues. PANEL: Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, Sarah McBride, Ashe Schow, Jennifer Higgins
