Oklahoma Supreme Court Finds Abortion Law Unconstitutional, Upholds State District Court Decision

Today, the Oklahoma Supreme Court affirmed a decision by State District Court Judge Vicki Robertson, which declared unconstitutional a law that would have imposed a host of restrictions on the provision of reproductive healthcare in the State. One of the restrictions would have prohibited a woman from getting an abortion unless she first had an ultrasound and listened to her doctor describe the image in detail, even if she objected. Another would have prevented women from suing their obstetricians for intentionally withholding information about problems with their pregnancies, potentially blocking access to important information for women and families.
