Oklahoma Supreme Court blocks three anti-abortion laws scheduled to go into effect Nov. 1

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : The Oklahoma Supreme Court voted to temporarily block three laws that placed restrictions on abortion and that were set to take effect in the state on Nov. 1.
42% : The ruling comes after a district court judge temporarily blocked two other laws restricting abortion in the state from taking effect, one of which was similar to a Texas abortion law that bans the procedure after about six weeks of pregnancy.
37% : About half of all abortion providers in the state would have been forced to stop providing abortions under the restriction requiring providers to be board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, which critics say would have sharply reduced access to abortion across the state.
