Oklahoma Abortion Laws 2022 | What You Need To Know.

Oklahoma is one of the states with the most restrictive abortion laws in America. Recently, the state government passed a law banning all abortions after six weeks – a point at which many people don’t yet know they’re pregnant.

This has caused Oklahoma’s two Planned Parenthood clinics to stop performing abortions, leaving just two providers up and running. This means that women who live in rural areas or who cannot afford to travel have very limited options.

If you’re seeking an abortion in Oklahoma, it’s important to be aware of the state’s restrictions. Oklahoma is one of only a handful of states that ban abortions after six weeks, and it has some of the most stringent requirements for providers in the country.

Here are some things you should know about Oklahoma’s abortion laws before making a decision:

•  Oklahoma bans all abortions after six weeks, with some exceptions for rape or incest.

• The state requires all abortions to be performed by a licensed physician in a hospital or ambulatory surgical center.

• All patients must receive state-mandated counseling at least 24 hours before their procedure, and they must undergo a mandatory ultrasound.

• Oklahoma requires parental consent for minors seeking an abortion.

• Medicaid does not cover abortions in Oklahoma.

If you’re considering an abortion in Oklahoma, it’s important to be aware of these restrictions. With only two providers in the state, and strict requirements for both patients and physicians, getting an abortion can be difficult.

Restricting women’s access to safe and legal abortion services has important negative health implications.

The Oklahoma Abortion Bill (May 14 2022)

The Oklahoma abortion bill was passed on May 14, making it a felony to perform an abortion in the state. The bill’s sponsor, Republican Representative Justin Humphrey, said that it was designed to protect “the life of the unborn.”

The bill will make it a crime to perform an abortion except in cases where the pregnant woman’s life is in danger. The bill would also impose a prison sentence of up to three years for any woman who undergoes an abortion.

Opponents of the bill say that it violates Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide, and that it will force women to seek out unsafe and illegal abortions.

The bill has not yet been signed into law by Governor Mary Fallin, but is expected to be enacted later this year.

The Oklahoma abortion bill is just one of many similar bills that have been introduced in state legislatures across the country. Whether or not these bills become law will likely depend on how they are ultimately interpreted by the courts.

The fate of the bill will likely be decided in the courts, but its passage demonstrates the continued effort to restrict abortion access in states across the country.

Gov. Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma signed a bill on Wednesday that bans nearly all abortions starting at fertilization.

**Update** Abortion Is Now Illegal In Oklahoma

The New Abortion Bill takes effect immediately. Abortion is now illegal unless the abortion is necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency.

As a result, women in Oklahoma who wish to obtain an abortion must travel to another state to do so. This can be expensive and logistically difficult, especially for low-income women.

The passage of this law in Oklahoma is just the latest in a series of attacks on reproductive rights around the country and will likely have a devastating impact on women’s health. 

Reproductive rights are human rights. It is time for the United States to catch up with the rest of the world and recognize reproductive rights as fundamental human rights.
