Where this section sits in the code
  1. OK Code
  2. Title 63

A. A person who knowingly or recklessly uses a false

governmental record or makes a fraudulent representation or

statement in order to obtain an abortion for a minor in violation of

this title or intentionally causes, aids, abets or assists an

unemancipated minor to obtain an abortion without the consent

required by Section 1-740.2 of this title commits a Class D2 felony

offense.

B. A physician who intentionally or knowingly performs an

abortion on a pregnant unemancipated minor in violation of this

title commits a Class D2 felony offense.

C. 1. It is a defense to prosecution under subsection B of

this section if the person falsely representing himself or herself

as the parent or guardian of the minor displayed an apparently valid

governmental record of identification such that a reasonable person,

under similar circumstances, would have relied on the

representation.

2. The defense does not apply if the physician, or agent of the

physician, failed to use due diligence in determining the age of the

minor or the identity of the person represented as the parent or

guardian of the minor.

D. A person who knowingly or recklessly uses a false

governmental record or makes a fraudulent representation or

statement in order to obtain an abortion for a minor in violation of

this title or intentionally causes, aids, abets or assists an

unemancipated minor to obtain an abortion without the consent

required by Section 1-740.2 of this title or any physician who

intentionally or knowingly performs an abortion on a pregnant

unemancipated minor in violation of this title shall be civilly

liable to the minor and to the person or persons required to give

consent pursuant to the provisions of Section 1-740.2 of this title.

A court may award damages to the person or persons adversely

affected by a violation of this section including compensation for

emotional injury without the need for personal presence at the act

or event, and the court may further award attorney fees, litigation

costs, and punitive damages. Any adult who engages in or consents

to another person engaging in a sexual act with a minor, which

results in the minor's pregnancy, shall not be awarded damages under

this section.

E. A court of competent jurisdiction may enjoin conduct that

would be in violation of this section upon petition by the Attorney

General, a district attorney or any person adversely affected or who

reasonably may be adversely affected by such conduct, upon a showing

that such conduct:

1. Is reasonably anticipated to occur in the future; or

2. Has occurred in the past, whether with the same minor or

others, and that it is reasonably expected to be repeated.

F. It is not a defense to a claim brought pursuant to this

section that the minor gave informed and voluntary consent.

G. An unemancipated minor does not have the capacity to consent

to any action that violates this title.
