OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) An anti-abortion lawmaker from Oklahoma City is seeking to further restrict the practice in Oklahoma.
Republican state Representative Sally Kern wants to prohibit doctors from performing abortions unless they have clinical privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of where they practice.
Her bill also would increase requirements under the Parental Notification Act by requiring women seeking abortions to provide proof of their age and parents who authorize abortions for minors to provide signed, dated and notarized letters of consent.
