Oklahoma Top Court Says Law Bans Pill-Induced Abortions

The Oklahoma Supreme Court said a state law would in effect ban pill-induced abortions, issuing an opinion that might scuttle a planned U.S. Supreme Court showdown.
Responding to a request from the nation’s highest court, the Oklahoma court today said the 2011 measure was a broad one that “effectively bans all medication abortions.” The state court had previously declared the law unconstitutional in a three-paragraph ruling that didn’t address the breadth of the statute.
