Oklahoma Supreme Court Upholds Abortion for Maternal Health.
TL;DR Summary
The Oklahoma Supreme Court has ruled that the state must allow abortions if there is a reasonable chance that a pregnancy could threaten a pregnant person’s life. Previously, the state only allowed abortions in cases of medical emergencies. The ruling means that pregnant people no longer have to wait until their life is in danger to legally qualify for an abortion. However, the lawsuit reflects the intensifying national debate over abortion rights after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June, leaving states to choose how much, and whether, to protect the right to abortion.
