Oklahoma Governor Considers Tightening Abortion Law
The results of the questionnaires would be posted online.
Women would also be required to have an invasive vaginal ultrasound and listen to a detailed description of the embryo or fetus in a third bill passed by the legislature Monday.
The requirements would be among the most "extreme" in the United States and are similar to those struck down by a state court as unconstitutional earlier this year, the Center for Reproductive Rights said.
"Despite the prospect and cost of additional legal challenges, the legislature is determined to severely limit women's ability to get an abortion in the state, approving laws with clear constitutional flaws and with absolute disregard for women's rights and health," the Center said in a statement urging a veto of the bills.
A spokesman for Governor Brad Henry declined to comment on his intention for the bills.
"Our office has not yet reviewed the final version of the legislation, and it's our standard policy not to comment on pending legislation until doing so," spokesman Thomas Larson told AFP.
Neighboring Nebraska passed a law last week prohibiting abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, a measure intended to target one the few remaining providers of late-term abortions in the United States.
