Exemptions.

A. No private hospital, hospital director or governing board of

a private hospital in Oklahoma, is required to permit abortions to

be performed or induced in such hospital. Refusal to permit an

abortion, in accordance with a standard policy, is not grounds for

civil liability nor a basis for disciplinary or other recriminatory

action.

B. No person may be required to perform, induce or participate

in medical procedures which result in an abortion which are in

preparation for an abortion or which involve aftercare of an

abortion patient, except when the aftercare involves emergency

medical procedures which are necessary to protect the life of the

patient, and refusal to perform or participate in such medical

procedures is not grounds for civil liability nor a basis for

disciplinary or other recriminatory action.

C. The rights and immunities granted by this section shall not

include medical procedures in which a woman is in the process of the

spontaneous, inevitable abortion of an unborn child, the death of

the child is imminent, and the procedures are necessary to prevent

the death of the mother.
