Oklahoma Gov. Vetoes Bill That Outlaws Abortions.
wochitnews on May 20, 2016 Governor Mary Fallin, Oklahoma Republican, vetoed legislation that would have outlawed abortions in the state on Friday. The measure would have made it a felony for doctors to execute abortion, punishable by up to three years in prison. Republican Senator Nathan Dahm was the one who sponsored the bill, and said its goal was to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's 1973 decision to legalize abortions across the country. Fallin said the legislation would not withstand a legal challenge given how vague it was.
