Oklahoma Supreme Court finds ‘limited right’ to abortion in state constitution, leaving access out-of-reach for many

Summary by Ground News

A divided Oklahoma Supreme Court overturned a portion of the state's near total ban on abortion. Women have a right to abortion when pregnancy risks their health, not just in a medical emergency. It was a narrow win for abortion rights advocates since the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the landmark Roe v. Wade last year.
