Disclosure of identity
Official statutory text
In every civil, criminal, or administrative proceeding or action
brought under the Oklahoma Unborn Child Protection from
Dismemberment Abortion Act, the court shall rule whether the
identity of any woman upon whom an abortion has been performed or
attempted to be performed 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 woman
should be preserved, 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 woman upon whom an abortion has been
performed or attempted to be performed, anyone other than a public
official who brings an action under Section 4 or 5 of 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 or from attorneys for the defendant.
