FILE - Lyn Toelle fills out forms before bringing roses to her legislators during the Rose Day observance, an anti-abortion event, at the state capitol in Oklahoma City on Feb. 4, 2004. Two abortion providers in Oklahoma said Tuesday they're continuing to be inundated with women from Texas seeking to terminate their pregnancies after Texas last year passed the most restrictive anti-abortion law in the U.S. in decades.
Statistics released last week by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission show abortions in Texas fell by 60% in the first month after the new law took effect that bans the procedure once cardiac activity is detected, usually around six weeks of pregnancy, without exceptions in cases of rape or incest.
Emily Wales, interim president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Great Plains Votes, said Planned Parenthood went from seeing about 50 patients from Texas at their clinics in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma in the fall of 2020 to more than 1,000 last year. Oklahoma lawmakers have introduced more than a dozen bills this year to further restrict or prohibit abortions in Oklahoma, including measures that make it a felony crime to perform or receive an abortion.What Texas abortion ban means for survivors of rape, incest and others whose choices were stolen
