Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt has signed a bill to ban abortions in the state, except in medical emergencies.

“As Governor, I promised to sign every piece of pro-life legislation that hit my desk,” Stitt wrote on Twitter after signing the bill on April 12. “Today I kept that promise by signing SB 612 into law, once again showing the world that Oklahoma is the most pro-life state in the country.”
