Pro-Life Ultrasound Bill Passes Oklahoma House of Representatives

(from House of Representatives Media Division)

Pro-life legislation further defending the unborn child passed the House today.


House Bill 2780, by Rep. Lisa Billy, expands on pro-life legislation passed in 2006 that required abortion doctors to tell a woman she had a right to a free ultrasound at an off-site location. This legislation would provide an ultrasound at the clinic where the abortion would be performed.

“This legislation is about giving mothers as much information as possible in advance about this irrevocable, life-altering decision. We must do all we can to ensure every woman has all the facts so she can make the most informed decision possible,” said Billy, R-Purcell.

The bill passed the House today with a vote of 87-7 and will now move to the Senate for consideration.
