The Oklahoma legislature has approved a bill that would make all abortions illegal, except in the case of a medical emergency to save the mother’s life.

The bill now heads to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt to be signed into law. The governor has previously said he would sign any pro-life bill that reaches his desk.
