Oklahoma’s Republican Governor Kevin Stitt has signed several bills that would make abortions almost completely illegal statewide. One bill would revoke the medical license of any Oklahoma doctor who performs an abortion, except in very rare circumstances; another bill bans abortions around six weeks of pregnancy; and a third requires doctors who perform abortions be board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology. The legislation will face immediate legal challenges.

Republican Governor Kevin Stitt recently signed a bill that protects drivers who unintentionally injures or kills people who were participating in rioting.
It was noted that the bill also makes it a misdemeanor to obstruct a road or stop vehicle traffic. The misdemeanor is punishable with a $5,000 fine and/or up to a year in prison.
House Bill 1674 reportedly was introduced after a Tulsa incident that found a pickup truck running through numerous Black Lives Matter protesters. As a result of the incident, a man was injured and paralyzed from the waist down after falling from an overpass. Representative Kevin McDugle spoke on the bill earlier this year, saying, “It’s not going to be a peaceful protest if you’re impeding the freedom of others. The driver of that truck had his family in there, and they were scared to death.” Stay tuned for more updates.

HB 1674 exonerates motorists who unintentionally wound or kill someone if they were fleeing from a riot, providing the driver exercised due care and believed it necessary to protect themselves from serious injury or death.
