"Virtually every hospital in the state of Oklahoma will no longer be allowed to do it."

Reuters reports that a bill prohibiting public funds from being used for most abortions has become law in Oklahoma after a deadline passed for the state's governor to veto the measure.

"If the governor doesn't act, it becomes law," said his spokesman, Phil Bacharach. Gov. Brad Henry had until midnight on Wednesday night to veto the bill.

"Virtually every hospital in the state of Oklahoma will no longer be allowed to do it. If you live in rural Oklahoma, your hospital probably receives state funding," said Linda Gray Murphy, a lobbyist with the National Association of Social Workers, who worked to the defeat the legislation.
