They're off the deep end. It's also an imposition of their interpretation of their religion on everyone. You can make a secular argument for making abortions more limited as the overall level of suffering increases, but it's a hell of a long time after fertilisation that there's anything that can suffer will be affected.

The law is made by representatives of a nation (or state in this case) and most people in Oklahoma support it, so everything is correct. Law is to fulfil the will of the people (at least in democracies).
If it passes it may ban certain types of contraceptives like the paraguard for instance which doesn't always stop fertilization but sometimes works by preventing implantation of a fertilized egg. https://www.paragard.com/how-paragard-works/
I think it won't pass if majority of people disagree with it. But if majority of people agree then that's their right to make that law in their state.
