Two of the Oklahoma legislatures strictest hardliners on abortion, State Sen. Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, and Rep. Jim Olsen, R-Roland, said they will oppose any attempt to create exemptions to the states near-total ban on the procedure.

“New allowances for abortion might come veiled as compassion and care for difficult and tragic circumstances. In fact, this is not the case at all. This would be nothing less than the taking away of innocent human life,” Dahm and Olsen said in a joint press release.

State Sen. Warren Hamilton, R-McCurtain, meanwhile, asked Oklahoma Attorney General John O’Connor for a legal opinion on the ramifications of “self-induced” abortion.
