Lawmakers in Oklahoma passed two bills Thursday placing strict restrictions on abortions, including banning it six weeks into pregnancy.

Senate Bill 1503, or the Oklahoma Heartbeat Act, prohibits abortions in case a physician is able to detect cardiac activity in a fetus or an embryo, something which usually happens six weeks into a woman’s pregnancy.
