In Oklahoma, the only time abortion is legal is when the life of the mother is at risk in an emergency. There are no exceptions for rape or incest and what constitutes an emergency is still legally hazy.

But now, if a new law continues to hurdle through the state’s legislature, any time — and every time — someone has an abortion there, their name will be put into a unique database.

The bill hasn’t been made into law just yet, but it is getting close after vaulting out of a committee 5-1 in the state’s House on Feb. 15 and receiving necessary backing from a counterpart in the Oklahoma Senate, where Sen. Dave Bullard has signed on. The next stop is a hearing on the full floor of the statehouse and then a vote.

When that vote will be is uncertain, a spokesperson for the bill’s sponsor, Republican Rep. Kevin West, told Law&Crime by phone on Wednesday. The timing could move fast or slow, depending on how quickly the bill’s sponsors want to get it through.
