close to 50 years ago.
A protester in Boston, Mass., on May 3, 2022, after a leaked draft decision by the Supreme Court suggested the justices are poised to overturnMuqaddam described the law as a “copycat of Texas’s bounty hunter law,” but says the law goes further by attempting to strip state courts of jurisdiction to review the law.
“The effects on the ground have been catastrophic,” said Dr. Iman Alsaden, medical director at Planned Parenthood Great Plains. “Even while S.B. 1503 has been in effect, the vast majority of care has been inaccessible in the state. And patients have been thrown into chaos. Even the patients that have been able to be seen in Oklahoma have faced tremendous barriers and costs associated with their limited care. And many, many, many Oklahomans have traveled out of their state.
“While the clinics are going to do everything they can to get patients care, the reality is that it’s not going to be possible for everyone, especially since the majority of patients who seek abortions in Oklahoma and nationally are low income folks,” said Alsaden. “The reality is that while some will be able to travel, many will not.”
