Planned Parenthood Panics as State Passes the Most Pro-Life Law in the Nation

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

40% : Another bill that prohibits abortion after a heartbeat can be detected in the unborn child, which experts say is about six weeks, already has taken effect and has already dramatically curtailed the practice in Oklahoma.
39% : It comes on the heels of a leaked draft opinion from the U.S. Supreme Court that suggests justices are considering weakening or overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that applied constitutional protections to abortion.
36% : The bill by Collinsville Republican Rep. Wendi Stearman would prohibit all abortions except to save the life of a pregnant woman or if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest that has been reported to law enforcement.
36% : "At this point, we are preparing for the most restrictive environment politicians can create: a complete ban on abortion with likely no exceptions," said Emily Wales, interim president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Plains, which stopped providing abortions at two of its Oklahoma clinics after the six-week ban took effect this month.
36% : There are legal challenges pending in Oklahoma to both the bill to criminalize abortion and the six-week Texas ban, but the courts have not acted to stop either measure.
