Abortion Battles Continue.
Oklahoma is the latest state to ban abortion in the South as anti choice states are becoming more emboldened. (Politico)
“The Oklahoma House gave final approval on Thursday to a Texas-style abortion ban that prohibits the procedure after about six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant.
The bill approved by the GOP-led House on a 68-12 vote without discussion or debate now heads to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who is expected to sign it within days. The assault on abortion rights is one of several culture-war issues conservatives in GOP-led states have embraced, like restricting LGBTQ rights, that drive the party’s base in an election year.”
Abortion rights will continue to be a white ball of hot fire contested issue because of the Supreme Court new conservative majority. Conservative states know that they are likely to be more successful in overturning the right to an abortion with the current justices seated on the Court which is going to be an issue for many years to come. The decision that will be handed down in the next few months could alter the abortion rights landscape for decades into the future.
