Lawmakers in Oklahoma passed a bill today that would make performing abortions a felony, Huffington Post reports. The measure, which contains no exceptions for cases of rape or incest, is now headed to the desk of Oklahoma’s Republican governor. The Associated Press adds that under the measure, those who perform an abortion could be punished with up to three years in prison and would restrict any physician who performs an abortion from obtaining or renewing a license to practice medicine in the state.
