An Oklahoma abortion practitioner is trying to stop a new law requiring abortion clinics to provide information to protect young victims of sexual abuse in the state.

The Oklahoma state law requires abortion facilities to follow a number of common sense measures, including a requirement to submit a sample of the “fetal tissue” from abortion patients younger than 14 to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation for rape investigations, the Tulsa World reports.

Dr. Larry Burns, an abortion practitioner from Norman, Oklahoma, asked a district judge Tuesday to toss out the law, according to the report.

According to the local report:

The action by Dr. Larry Burns comes after the Oklahoma Supreme Court late last month put Senate Bill 642, by Sen. Greg Treat, R-Oklahoma City, on hold. The measure was set to take effect Sunday.

The stay was expected to expire unless the petitioners filed in district court. The state’s high court expressed no opinion on the measure’s constitutionality. …

The lawsuit alleges that the measure violates the Oklahoma Constitution’s requirement that bills contain one subject.

“It contains four separate sections, each of which addresses an entirely different subject,” states the lawsuit, filed by the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights.
