Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt signed the near-total abortion ban
“Most of the abortions that we are funding that normally used to cost $500, are costing $1,000,” Sylvia Ghazaria, the executive director of non-profit Women’s Reproductive Rights Assistance Project, said. The organization disbursed just under $540,000 in funds to help 2,560 patients last year, and Ghazarian expects payments top $1 million this year.
In September, Texas implemented a ban on abortions after the detection of fetal cardiac activity, or about six weeks’ gestation. The move pushed people to travel elsewhere for the procedure, and 45% ofbetween September and December headed to Oklahoma, according to a report from the Texas Policy Evaluation Project. That migration came to a screeching halt after Oklahoma implemented a similar six-week ban earlier this month, clinic workers said.
“Care was not necessarily accessible when you had to wait 72 hours and sit through mandatory information from the state, but it was much more doable,” than in Arkansas and Missouri, said Emily Wales, the president and chief executive officer of Planned Parenthood Great Plains, which operates two reproductive health-care centers in Oklahoma. The 72-hour rule in those states mandate that both appointments be in person, whereas Oklahoma’s prior rule allowed for a virtual consult.
