Team,
Today, the Oklahoma district court became the first court in the country to uphold a ban on the standard method of ending a pregnancy after approximately 14 weeks.
This shocking decision bans Oklahoma doctors from providing abortions according to the standard of care.
This is the first time a ban of this kind has been allowed to take effect and we cannot overstate the harm this decision will have on women in the state.
Help us keep fighting —> Make a generous donation today.
This law bans care that women need and doctors recommend and is part of a national strategy by anti-abortion politicians to push abortion care out of reach by passing hundreds of laws that limit access. We will keep fighting this unconstitutional ban to make sure Oklahomans have access to the best medical treatment.
In no other area of medicine do you see purely ideological restrictions prohibiting doctors from using their best medical judgment to provide care that is best for their patients. Until now, every court that has reviewed similar bans has blocked them from taking effect, including in Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky and Texas. Just last month, the U.S. Supreme Court let stand a lower court’s decision to strike down an identical ban in Alabama.
Politicians should never take safe medical options off the table for pregnant patients, and we will keep fighting to ensure that this law does not stand... but we need your help. Please make an emergency gift of $25 or more today.
Onward,
Nancy Northup
President & CEO
