A Texas-style abortion ban is heading to the Oklahoma Governor's desk. Gov. Stitt is expected to sign it, and if so, it will immediately go into effect due to the bill's emergency provision.
conservatives in GOP-led states have embraced, like restricting LGBTQ rights, that drive the party’s base in an election year.
"They’re all concerned about their elections coming up and making sure they have something they can put on a postcard to talk about," said Rep. Andy Fugate, D-Midwest City. Although Stitt already signed a bill earlier this year to make performing an abortion a felony crime in Oklahoma, that measure is not set to take effect until later in the summer and might not withstand a legal challenge.
