Oklahoma State Supreme Court Finds 2 Anti-Abortion Laws Unconstitutional

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

47% : We will keep working towards a reality where abortion is available in our home communities once again.
42% : The ruling does not make abortion legal in the state.
40% : Polling in the state shows that most residents oppose total bans on abortion.
39% : Both statutes had civil penalties in place for providers that violated them, allowing state residents to sue those who performed the procedure, effectively placing a block on access to abortion throughout the state.
35% : That statute bans almost all abortions, and has criminal rather than civil penalties, including a $5,000 fine and jail time for those who provide abortion services.
32% :"The Oklahoma AG appears to believe that abortion remains illegal in the state under a 1910 criminal ban, which tees up another challenge at the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
