Oklahoma governor signs bill criminalizing the performing of abortions

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : The bill's future will probably hinge on a Supreme Court decision expected in the summer, when the justices will rule on Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban in a case that could overturn or significantly roll back Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that guaranteed the right to abortion nationwide.
45% : In oral arguments last year, conservative justices, who hold the majority on the 6-to-3 court, seemed open to overturning Roe v. Wade and 50 years of jurisprudence that guarantees a fundamental right to abortion.
45% :The Supreme Court has already passed on three opportunities to block a Texas law that bans abortions in the state at about six weeks of pregnancy and sets up enforcement via private individuals, rather than state officials, underscoring the court's willingness to allow at least one state to enforce a restrictive law.
42% : From Florida to Idaho to Arizona, Republicans have moved to restrict abortion while Democratic-led states have tried to protect access to the procedure.
42% : Since September, when the Texas law went into effect, banning abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, patients from that state have been traveling to Oklahoma for abortion care.
38% : We want to outlaw abortion in the state of Oklahoma."
26% : "Planned Parenthood and our partners are doing everything in our power to stop this total abortion ban and let politicians know -- banning abortion is never OK."
