Surprisingly, Oklahoma's anti-abortion governor vetoed the bill, claiming that it was too vague.

I doubt she vetoed the bill because she's become pro-choice. More likely she had a fleeting moment of fiscal sanity and realized that Oklahoma taxpayers didn't need a costly court fight, particularly when there are other, sneakier, under-handed ways of undermining women's access to health care that have passed constitutional muster that she can sign into law.
