OKLAHOMA PASSES ABORTION ULTRASOUND LAW

Oklahoma has passed some of the US's toughest restrictions on abortion, requiring women to undergo an ultrasound an hour before having a termination.

Even victims of rape or incest will be required to view the image and listen to a detailed description of what can be seen. They would be given vaginal rather than abdominal ultrasounds as these ''would display the embryo or fetus more clearly''.

The laws were challenged by pro-choice groups.
