TL;DR Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court has overturned a portion of the state's near-total ban on abortion, ruling that women have the right to abortion when pregnancy risks their health, not just in a medical emergency. The court ruled that a woman has the right under the state Constitution to receive an abortion to preserve her life if her doctor determines that continuing the pregnancy would endanger it due to a condition she has or is likely to develop during the pregnancy. The ruling was a narrow win for abortion rights advocates since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade.
