Oklahoma Supreme Court Upholds Limited Right to Abortion in Medical Emergencies.
TL;DR Summary
The Oklahoma Supreme Court has ruled that the state constitution guarantees a "limited right" to abortion, including in cases where there is a "reasonable" certainty pregnancy threatens a person's life. Abortion providers had challenged two laws in the state, a pre-Roe ban and another one that the governor signed into law in 2022. The court ultimately ruled that the 2022 ban interfered with the "inherent right to terminate a pregnancy to preserve the woman's life."
