Optimistic in light of the U.S. Supreme Courtâs political shift, conservative Oklahoma lawmakers are pushing for laws to further restrict abortion access.
Legislators have sponsored more than a dozen abortion bills for the 2021 session.
Members introduced a bill that would ban abortion after a doctor can detect a fetal heartbeat â usually around six weeks, when many women donât yet know theyâre pregnant. Another bill would restrict which doctors can perform the procedure.
