The Center for Reproductive Rights, a global advocacy group based in New York, says it will challenge the Oklahoma abortion ban in state court.
Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt on Wednesday, May 25, signed into law the strictest abortion ban in the United States, one that prohibits abortions from fertilization and allows private citizens to sue those who help women terminate their pregnancies.
The Republican-backed legislation, which took effect immediately with Stitt’s signature, makes exceptions only in cases of medical emergency, rape or incest. It states that it does not prohibit the use of contraception or emergency contraception. Oklahoma is among the country’s Republican-led states rushing to pass anti-abortion laws this year, anticipating that the US Supreme Court will soon overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 case that established the constitutional right to abortion.
Oklahoma’s four abortion clinics have already stopped providing abortion services in anticipation of the ban.
