Roe v. Wade was effectively overruled by the US Supreme Court on Friday morning. Although the law in Oklahoma won't alter much as a result, it will have a significant impact on abortion access across the nation.

KGOU reported that Oklahoma already outlawed abortion this year after adopting a number of conflicting measures. Two of them made use of Texas-inspired legal sanctions.

That entails that locals may bring pricey civil lawsuits against anyone who conducts or assists with an abortion. In comparison to other types of laws, like the one approved this year that makes conducting an abortion a criminal, those are anticipated to withstand judicial challenges better.

The decision will have an impact on Oklahomans seeking abortions out of state. Thirteen states have "trigger laws" on the books, meaning that after the Supreme Court overturns Roe, abortion is immediately illegal. Those include some of Oklahoma’s neighbors, including Arkansas, as well as most of the South.
