HB 2780, by Rep. Lisa J. Billy, would require that all women seeking abortions in Oklahoma be provided with an ultrasound, prior to any abortion. The woman would NOT be required to look at the ultrasound images of her unborn child, but the ultrasound would be required to be performed.
HB 3110, by Rep. Pam Peterson, would create the Freedom of Conscience Act, and would allow certain medical professionals from being required to perform abortions or provide abortifacients as a condition of their employment.
Both of these bills have been passed into law in prior years, but are being resubmitted in light of recent rulings by Oklahoma County judges, as respects the constitutionality of how the legislation was approved in violation of the single-subject rule.
Another bill, HB 3077, by Rep. Rebecca Hamilton, is NOT on today's agenda, but is expected to be put on the calendar in the coming days. Her bill would prevent women from selling their eggs in Oklahoma, thus creating a marketplace for human eggs in violation of moral and bioethics concerns.
