Oklahoma: Anti-Choice Laws Take Effect, Leaving 1 Abortion Clinic

HeadlineNov 04, 2014

In Oklahoma, laws restricting abortion have gone into effect reportedly leaving just one clinic providing abortions in the entire state. The laws mirror restrictions passed in Texas. One requires providers to obtain admitting privileges at a nearby hospital, which has proven impossible for some. The other restricts the pill form of abortion, imposing an outdated protocol and banning it after 49 days of pregnancy. The Center for Reproductive Rights is seeking an emergency injunction from the Supreme Court.
