The bill prohibits abortion once an embryo has been fertilized, and any citizen can sue those who assist a woman in terminating a pregnancy.
Abortion can only be performed to save the life of the pregnant woman, or if the pregnancy was caused by rape, etc. and reported to law enforcement.
Oklahoma will reportedly pass another bill this summer that would make abortion a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

On the 11th, the US Senate held a procedural vote on a bill to protect women's abortion rights, but the vote failed.
