Abortion becomes illegal, Oklahoma governor signs the law

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt has signed the law that makes abortion illegal in the US state, even in cases of rape and incest. “As governor I represent all 4 million citizens who support the protection of life in our state overwhelmingly, we want Oklahoma to be a pro life state, we want abortion to be outlawed,” the Republican said. The law, passed in the Senate last year and in the state legislature last month, sets fines of up to $ 100,000 and up to 10 years in prison for doctors who practice abortion. The only exceptions are those where there are health risks. “I know this law will be challenged immediately by liberal activists who always want to meddle and challenge our way of life here in Oklahoma: the most important thing is to stand firm and protect the unborn and life in our state,” concluded the governor. that regarding the prohibition of abortion in case of rape states: “the child does not have to pay for the sins of the father, it is always a life”. White House spokesperson Jen Psaki condemned the law, calling it “one of the most extremist to date” as part of what she calls “a worrying national trend in attacking women’s rights.”
