Oklahoma Supreme Court Rules New Abortion Bans Unconstitutional

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% :"Except for certain circumstances outlined in that statute, abortion is still unlawful in the State of Oklahoma," Gentner Drummond, the state's attorney general, said in a statement on Wednesday.
44% : Why It MattersOklahoma is among a number of Republican-led states that moved to ban abortion in anticipation of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade last year.
33% :What's NextAbortion is still largely illegal in Oklahoma because of the 1910 law that came back into effect when Roe was overturned.
29% : The laws that were struck down on Wednesday had been modeled on legislation that took effect in Texas in 2021, which banned abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy, and relied on civilian instead of criminal enforcement to work around court challenges.
