Abortion; creating the Abolition of Abortion Act; modifying applicability of provisions related to homicide and wrongful death. Emergency.

SB 456, titled the "Abolition of Abortion Act," redefines homicide under Oklahoma law to include unborn children as "human beings" while explicitly excluding legal abortions and standard medical procedures from homicide charges. It modifies homicide (21 O.S. §691) and wrongful death (12 O.S. §1053) laws to apply the same legal standards to cases involving unborn children as to born individuals, but exempts life-saving medical procedures for the mother and spontaneous miscarriages. The bill also clarifies that mothers cannot be prosecuted for causing fetal death unless they committed another crime, and updates duress defense provisions (21 O.S. §156) to apply to mothers charged with harm to unborn children. These changes aim to align legal protections for unborn children with those for born persons under existing criminal and civil law.
