Oklahoma City’s ABC News affiliate reports:
Gov. Kevin Stitt signed a bill into law that places a near-ban on abortions in Oklahoma. Senate Bill 612 is one of several anti-abortion that have made their way through the Oklahoma Legislature this session.
The measure bans nearly all abortions at conception, and there would be no exceptions for rape or incest. The only exception is to save the life of the woman in case of an emergency.
The bill specifically targets health care workers who perform the procedure. They can be punished by up to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.

Stitt, who contracted COVID in July 2020, announced a statewide day of fasting and prayer against COVID in December 2020.
On his inauguration day in January 2019, he declared that the primary mission of his administration would be to “bring people to Jesus.”
In April 2021, he signed into law a bill that legalizes running over protesters. Which is what Jesus would want.
