The Oklahoma Supreme Court has blocked three anti-abortion laws that were scheduled to take effect on Nov. 1.
In a 5-3 ruling on Monday, the court granted a temporary injunction that prevents the laws from taking effect. All three appointees of Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt dissented,“The Oklahoma Supreme Court recognized that these laws would cause irreparable harm to Oklahomans,” Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the New York City-based Center for Reproductive Rights, which helped to challenge the laws, said in a statement.
One law would have required all doctors who perform abortions in the state to be board-certified in obstetrics or gynecology, which would have forced about half of the abortion providers in the state to stop operating, the AP reported. The other two laws would have created new restrictions on medication-induced abortions.
The other measure was similar to the Texas ban that stops abortions from happening after a “fetal heartbeat” is detected, which can happen as early as 6 weeks into aTogether, the laws would have prevented most abortions in Oklahoma, the newspaper reported. Similar increases are being reported at abortion clinics in Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, and New Mexico, the AP reported.
