The Oklahoma Supreme Court ruled 5-4 on Tuesday that the state constitution guarantees a "limited right" to abortion, including in cases where there is a "reasonable" certainty pregnancy threatens a person's life.
Why it matters: Abortion providers filed a lawsuit last year challenging two laws in the state, a pre-Roe ban and another one that the governor signed into law in 2022. The court ultimately ruled that the 2022 ban interfered with the "inherent right to terminate a pregnancy to preserve the woman's life."
