Okla. Stat. tit. 63, § 63-1-745.2

As used in the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act only:

1. "Abortion" means the use or prescription of any instrument,

medicine, drug, or any other substance or device to terminate the

pregnancy of a woman known to be pregnant with an intention other

than to increase the probability of a live birth, to preserve the

life or health of the child after live birth, or to remove a dead

unborn child who died as the result of natural causes in utero,

accidental trauma, or a criminal assault on the pregnant woman or

her unborn child, and which causes the premature termination of the

pregnancy;

2. "Attempt to perform or induce an abortion" means an act, or

an omission of a statutorily required act, that, under the

circumstances as the actor believes them to be, constitutes a

substantial step in a course of conduct planned to culminate in the

performance or induction of an abortion in this state in violation

of the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act;

3. "Postfertilization age" means the age of the unborn child as

calculated from the fertilization of the human ovum;

4. "Fertilization" means the fusion of a human spermatozoon

with a human ovum;

5. "Medical emergency" means a condition that, in reasonable

medical judgment, so complicates the medical condition of the

pregnant woman that it necessitates the immediate abortion of her

pregnancy without first determining postfertilization age to avert

her death or for which the delay necessary to determine

postfertilization age will create serious risk of substantial and

irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function, not

including psychological or emotional conditions. No condition shall

be deemed a medical emergency if based on a claim or diagnosis that

the woman will engage in conduct which she intends to result in her

death or in substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a

major bodily function;
