Where this section sits in the code
- OK Code
- Title 63
Disclosure.
In every action brought under this act, the court shall rule
whether the anonymity of any female upon whom an abortion has been
performed or attempted shall be preserved from public disclosure if
she does not give her consent to such disclosure. The court, upon
motion or sua sponte, shall make such a ruling and, upon determining
that her anonymity should be preserved, shall issue orders to the
parties, witnesses, and counsel and shall direct the sealing of the
record and exclusion of individuals from courtrooms or hearing rooms
to the extent necessary to safeguard her identity from public
disclosure. Each such order shall be accompanied by specific
written findings explaining why the anonymity of the female should
be preserved from public disclosure, why the order is essential to
that end, how the order is narrowly tailored to serve that interest,
and why no reasonable less restrictive alternative exists. In the
absence of written consent of the female upon whom an abortion has
been performed or attempted, anyone, other than a public official,
who brings an action under this act shall do so under a pseudonym.
This section may not be construed to conceal the identity of the
plaintiff or of witnesses from the defendant.
