Oklahoma Governor Signs Bill That Bans Most Abortions

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : "If other states want to pass different laws, that is their right, but in Oklahoma we will always stand up for life."Passed by the Oklahoma Legislature last Thursday, the law relies on civilian enforcement to get around the constitutional right to abortion that was enshrined by the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, a ruling the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to overturn in the coming weeks.
45% : The law makes exceptions in cases where an abortion is necessary to save the life of the mother, or in cases of rape or incest if they have been reported to law enforcement.
42% : A draft opinion that was leaked this month indicated the justices would most likely overturn Roe in a decision about a case involving a Mississippi law that bans abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
36% : "This signals to other states that they, too, can ban abortion."
