One of the authors of the bill, state Representative Mike Thompson, explained the driving force for creating the bill: “Pregnant women who refuse to abort their child are too often attacked by their partner in an effort to force a miscarriage…Women put in this position should have the legal right to defend themselves, with lethal force if necessary.” To view the press release, go to okhouse.gov.
