The court blocked two abortion bans today, but gave the green light to severe restrictions, including a law that would reduce the number of abortion providers in OK by MORE THAN HALF.
This decision comes over a month after Texas’s six-week abortion ban, #SB8 took effect and eliminated the vast majority of abortion access in the state.
As a result, clinics in OK have reported huge increases in patients traveling from Texas to access care. For instance, an OK clinic reported that two-thirds of the phone calls they receive are now from Texas patients.
“Right now, people in Texas are traveling to Oklahoma and other neighboring states to access abortion," said Nancy Northup, Center president and CEO.
"If these laws take effect, it will decimate access not only in Oklahoma, but in the whole region. We will continue to fight to get these laws blocked in court.”
