4 states moved to restrict abortion access this week
Four states moved to curtail abortion access this week, with two of them advancing their own versions of a ban on abortions after
15 weeks of pregnancy.
The only two clinics in
Kentucky in which abortions are performed,
Planned Parenthood and EMW Women's Surgical Center, are separately suing to block a new state abortion law, saying it amounts to a de facto ban on abortions in Kentucky.
Oklahoma GOP Gov. Kevin Stitt on Tuesday signed a bill into law that makes performing an abortion illegal in the state, with an exception only in the case of a medical emergency.
The
Tennessee Republican-led House passed a bill on Thursday that would allow only physicians to provide drugs used in medication abortions and bar the drugs from being sent via mail.
