ยง63-1-741. Abortions - Refusal to perform or participate - Exemptions.
A. No private hospital, hospital director or governing board of a private
hospital in Oklahoma, is required to permit abortions to be performed or
induced in such hospital. Refusal to permit an abortion, in accordance with
a standard policy, is not grounds for civil liability nor a basis for
disciplinary or other recriminatory action.
B. No person may be required to perform, induce or participate in medical
procedures which result in an abortion which are in preparation for an
abortion or which involve aftercare of an abortion patient, except when the
aftercare involves emergency medical procedures which are necessary to
protect the life of the patient, and refusal to perform or participate in
such medical procedures is not grounds for civil liability nor a basis for
disciplinary or other recriminatory action.
C. The rights and immunities granted by this section shall not include
medical procedures in which a woman is in the process of the spontaneous,
inevitable abortion of an unborn child, the death of the child is imminent,
and the procedures are necessary to prevent the death of the mother.
