SB 1552 defines the performance of an abortion as “unprofessional conduct.” The bill also prohibits a number of other practices, including “Procuring, aiding or abetting a criminal operation,” “The writing of false or fictitious prescriptions for any drugs or narcotics,” and “Engaging in physical conduct with a patient which is sexual in nature, or in any verbal behavior which is seductive or sexually demeaning to a patient.”

The bill has passed both the Oklahoma Senate and the House of Representatives.

“Since I believe life begins at conception, it should be protected, and I believe it’s a core function of state government to defend that life from the beginning of conception,” State Senator Nathan Dahm told the Associated Press.

Speaking for myself, I'm also of the personal position that abortion should be handled at the state level and that states should be of the authority (which they are) to create their own abortion laws and to enforce those abortion laws just like any other violent crime that they enforce like armed robbery or murder or whatever. Just completely remove federal jurisdiction. The framers were very wise to provide for states these means to operate around an over-reaching federal government.

Mary Fallin just vetoed it. She says it was 'too vague'.
