The Most Extreme Abortion Ban In The Country Was Just Signed Into Law In Oklahoma

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING Oklahoma is now the state with the most restrictive abortion legislation in the country after Gov. 4327, bans abortion at fertilization and has the same enforcement mechanism as Texas’ six-week abortion ban that went into effect last fall. “We won’t stop fighting for Oklahomans, especially those who face often insurmountable barriers to accessing abortion: Black people, people of color, people who live in rural areas, and people struggling to make ends meet.” Oklahoma’s five remaining clinics will no longer be able to provide abortion care due to the ban. Earlier this month, Stitt signed the “Oklahoma Heartbeat Act” into law, which bans abortion at around six weeks and also uses the Texas-style enforcement mechanism. New Mexico and Colorado will probably “What makes it different now is that we don’t have the backstop of the United States Supreme Court upholding precedent,” Oklahoma House Minority Leader Emily Virgin told HuffPost earlier this month, referring to the 6-3 conservative majority on the high court and the upcoming decision expected to overturn or gut Roe v. Wade.
