Public disclosure of woman's identity whom an abortion
Official statutory text
was performed on.
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 63. Public Health and Safety Page 396
In every civil or criminal proceeding or action brought under
the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, the court shall rule
whether the anonymity of any woman upon whom an abortion has been
performed or induced or attempted to be performed or induced 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 from public disclosure,
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 induced or
attempted to be performed or induced, anyone, other than a public
official, who brings an action under subsections A or B of Section 8
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.
