Lyft Will Cover Legal Fees for Drivers Sued Under Oklahoma Abortion Law
said this week they will fully cover legal fees for their respective drivers who are sued under Oklahoma's anticipated restrictive abortion law.that prohibits most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, a time period before many women have even discovered they're pregnant. The so-called Oklahoma Heartbeat Act now goes to Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt, who is expected to sign it within days.
Like the Texas law, people aiding the procedure, including doctors, people paying for the procedure and clinic workers are at risk. That includes rideshare drivers who can be punished for transporting women to clinics to receive abortions, where they could be fined up to $10,000. Abortion rights activists and providers argue these laws effectively overturn protections set under Roe v. Wade in 1973.
