SB 989 Oklahoma Senate · 2025 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," making manufacturers, distributors, or providers of abortion-inducing drugs strictly liable for wrongful death or personal injuries to an unborn child or pregnant woman resulting from those drugs. It targets specific drugs like mifepristone and misoprostol (excluding emergency contraception like Plan B or IUDs), requiring strict liability regardless of causation. Key provisions include banning defenses like "ignorance of law" or consent, voiding waivers of liability, and allowing lawsuits within six years of the incident. The bill explicitly excludes liability for medical procedures like ectopic pregnancy treatment or emergency contraception.
