In vetoing the measure, Fallin said it was vague and would not withstand a legal challenge. The bill would have made it a felony punishable by up to three years in prison for anyone who performs an abortion, including doctors. Mary Fallin on Friday vetoed legislation that would make it a felony for doctors to perform an abortion, a measure that would have effectively outlawed the procedure in the state. State law already makes it a felony for anyone who’s not a doctor to perform an abortion, and Dahm’s bill would have removed the exemption for physicians. OKLAHOMA CITY—Oklahoma Republican Gov.
