HB 1008 Oklahoma House · 2025 Regular Session

Abortion; prohibition of abortion; definitions; prescribing standard based upon preservation of the life of a pregnant woman; emergency.

HB 1008 prohibits most abortions in Oklahoma, allowing exceptions only when a medical emergency - defined as a condition unremediable by delivery that requires abortion to preserve the pregnant woman’s life - is present. The bill amends Oklahoma law to criminalize performing or attempting an abortion outside this exception, with penalties including fines up to $100,000 or up to 10 years in prison. It explicitly states the law does not criminalize pregnant individuals for the death of their unborn child or ban contraception administered before pregnancy detection. This legislation directly affects healthcare providers performing abortions and anyone involved in abortion services within Oklahoma.
