A. Except in the case of a medical emergency, at least seventy-

two (72) hours prior to an abortion being performed on an unborn

child whose probable gestational age is twenty (20) weeks or more,

the physician performing the abortion or the agent of the physician

shall inform the pregnant female, by telephone or in person, of the

right to review the printed materials described in Section 1-738.10

of this title, that these materials are available on a state-

sponsored website, and the web address of that website. The

physician or the agent of the physician shall orally inform the

female that the materials have been provided by the State of

Oklahoma and that the materials contain information on pain and the

unborn child. If the female chooses to view the materials other

than on the website, the materials shall either be given to the

female at least seventy-two (72) hours before the abortion, or

received by the female at least seventy-two (72) hours before the

abortion by certified mail, restricted delivery to the addressee.

The information required by this subsection may be provided by a

tape recording if provision is made to record or otherwise register

specifically whether the female does or does not choose to receive

the printed materials given or mailed.

B. The female shall certify in writing, prior to the abortion,

that the information described in subsection A of this section has

been furnished to the female and that the female has been informed

of the opportunity to review the printed materials described in

Section 1-738.10 of this title. Prior to the performance of the

abortion, the physician who is to perform the abortion or the agent

of the physician shall obtain a copy of the written certification

and retain the copy on file with the medical record of the female

for at least three (3) years following the date of receipt.
