Oklahoma City archbishop encourages 'culture of life' after governor signs abortion ban

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Nearly 20 years later, the court upheld Roe in Planned Parenthood v. Casey.
42% : The Oklahoma law, prohibiting abortion from the moment of conception with few exceptions, comes ahead of a U.S. Supreme Court decision that could leave abortion legislation solely up to the states.
41% : Lila Rose, the head of pro-life group Live Action, applauded Stitt for signing "one of the strongest pro-life bills in the country."
41% : In Roe v. Wade, the court ruled that states could not ban abortion before viability -- the point at which a baby can survive outside the womb -- which the court determined to be 24 to 28 weeks into pregnancy.
38% : The law comes as a leaked U.S. Supreme Court draft in the abortion case Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization suggests that justices are preparing to overturn Roe v. Wade, the case that legalized abortion nationwide in 1973.
36% : Like the Texas abortion law, this legislation relies on enforcement by private citizens through civil lawsuits that can be brought against anyone who provides abortion or who helps a woman obtain one.
34% : The law makes exceptions for abortion to save the life of a pregnant woman as well as for cases of rape or incest reported to law enforcement.
