.MaddowBlog: What would a post-Roe United States look like? Look no further than Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma Legislature approved a bill on Thursday prohibiting abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, a ban that could sharply reduce abortion access not only for women in the state but for those who have been crossing its borders to work around increasingly strict anti-abortion laws across the South. The bill is modeled on one that took effect in Texas in September.
that the Texas measure could serve as “a model for action in other areas,” and that’s precisely what’s happening., what made Texas’ system so unusual was the extent to which Republican policymakers effectively created a vigilante system: If some random person learns that a Texan had an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy — before many women even know they’re pregnant — he could file suit against the physician who performed the procedure. And the nurse who was in the room.
The new Sooner State bill still needs to receive Gov. Kevin Stitt’s signature, but the Republican is on record saying, “I promised Oklahomans that I would sign every pro-life bill that hits my desk,” which leaves little doubt as to what will happen next.
