Oklahoma: Anti-Choice Laws Take Effect, Leaving 1 Abortion Clinic 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In Oklahoma, laws restricting abortion have gone into effect reportedly
leaving just one clinic providing abortions in the entire state. The
laws mirror restrictions passed in Texas. One requires providers to
obtain admitting privileges at a nearby hospital, which has proven
impossible for some. The other restricts the pill form of abortion,
imposing an outdated protocol and banning it after 49 days of pregnancy.
The Center for Reproductive Rights is seeking an emergency injunction
from the Supreme Court.
