Oklahoma's ban on abortion fears a cascading effect in the Southern part of U.S

Republican Governor Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma got into the ring against abortion seekers with his assent to make abortion illegal in the state. He had promised his voters that would be done as he supported life, sending the USA's entire southern states to a tense face-off against abortion practitioners and caregivers. The current patients who still hope to receive abortion care in the form find themselves in a spot. Law enforcers have an arduous task in deciding whether a patient undergoing treatment is still allowed to obtain the necessary care. As per law, any abortion beyond six weeks of pregnancy is considered illegal.

This law also makes abortion illegal unless medical compulsions otherwise say so. Exceptions are made in cases of rape or incest, and the matter is reported to law enforcement. What makes this law scary is that southern states, especially under Republican rule, might enact the law almost simultaneously. Travelling north for patients seeking abortion care would be extremely difficult and maybe, in some cases, also dangerous.

Governor Stitt feels that the moment life conceives in the womb, it needs safeguarding against the human point of view, and utmost care must be given to nurturing that life. This law, in a way, protects that expected life and mother from all kinds of harm.


The contentious bill HB-4327 made into law is the strictest enactment to date against abortion. It throws all doctors and abortion caregivers into the jaws of prison, as individuals and law enforcers would be allowed to take action against them legally. The question now is what happens to the US Supreme Court ruling in the Roe vs Wade case of 1969?

The Supreme court has finally pronounced the case that has been in debate since 1973. It was the choice of the mother to decide whether she needed an abortion or not, and the state would not have much say till the third trimester, when an abortion could endanger the life of the baby or the mother.
