Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt (R) on Tuesday signed into law a bill that makes providing an abortion a felony.
Driving the news: The legislation bans all abortions unless they're necessary to save a pregnant person's life. A person found guilty of providing an abortion would face up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $100,000.
Oklahoma's S.B. 612 has no exceptions for rape or incest and is set to go into effect this summer.
The person receiving the abortion would not be criminally liable.
