South Dakota, Oklahoma and Kentucky are taking steps to clarify their abortion bans.

Republican leaders are resisting calls to spell out in law the circumstances under which women can legally have abortions under “life of the mother” exceptions in states with strict bans.Mar. 11, 2024, 12:38 p.m. ETNASHVILLE, Tenn. — In Republican-led states across the U.S.
Oklahoma and Kentucky are also taking steps to clarify their abortion bans, though in both states the attorneys general, not physicians, are the ones dictating the terms. State Republican Rep. Taylor Rehfeldt, a nurse anesthetist, said she decided to propose the informational video after hearing from physicians about the ongoing confusion. She said the video offered the best solution because any attempt to tweak the abortion ban itself would provoke strong disagreement among her GOP colleagues.
South Dakota Republican state Sen. Erin Tobin, one of the measure’s proponents, acknowledged to a Senate panel last month that the video will not contain specific examples. Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti pushed back. He argued that it wasn’t the law, per se, that is harming women but rather “other factors like doctors’ independent choices not to provide permissible abortions.”
“While the judiciary cannot compel executive branch entities to do their part, it is obvious that the legal process works more smoothly when they do,” the justices wrote.
