SB 989 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Abortion; creating the Wrongful Death Protection Act of 2025; making certain individuals liable for wrongful death from abortion-inducing drugs. Emergency.

SB 989 creates the "Wrongful Death Protection Act of 2025," holding manufacturers, distributors, and providers of abortion-inducing drugs strictly liable for the death or injury of an unborn child or pregnant woman resulting from those drugs. It specifically targets drugs like mifepristone and misoprostol (excluding emergency contraception like Plan B), and applies to anyone involved in their supply chain. The law prohibits common defenses (e.g., ignorance of the law, consent, or negligence claims) and voids any waiver of this liability, with a 6-year statute of limitations for lawsuits. It explicitly excludes cases where abortion was performed to save a pregnant woman’s life or treat medical conditions like ectopic pregnancy.
