Oklahomans are familiar with signs in public restrooms reminding employees they must wash their hands before returning to work.

Coming in 2018, residents will start to see a new sign — one that attempts to persuade women not to get abortions.

As part of House 2797, signed into law during this year's legislative session, restaurants, hospitals, nursing homes and any other facility licensed by the state Health Department will be required to hang signs in their public restrooms that read:

"There are many public and private agencies willing and able to help you carry your child to term and assist you and your child after your child is born, whether you choose to keep your child or to place him or her for adoption. The State of Oklahoma strongly urges you to contact them if you are pregnant."
