TL;DR Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court has ruled that the state's constitution guarantees a "limited right" to abortions, issuing a partial injunction on a bill prohibiting women from terminating their pregnancies while upholding another. The court found that the state's bill of rights "protects the right of a woman to terminate her pregnancy in order to preserve her life." However, the court upheld a separate measure that also criminalizes performing abortions. Reproductive rights activists expressed dismay at the continued lack of abortion access that would occur in light of this ruling.
