The Oklahoma Supreme Court’s ruling on Tuesday that the state’s constitution contains an “inherent right” to abortions performed to save the life of the mother is a troubling decision that goes against the will of the people of Oklahoma. The court’s 5-4 ruling allows for abortions to be performed in cases where the mother’s life is in danger, even though Governor Kevin Stitt had signed a law in May 2022 prohibiting all abortion except those performed in cases of a medical emergency threatening the life of the mother.

This ruling is a reminder that the courts are not always on the side of the people and that it is important to elect judges who will uphold the values of the people of Oklahoma.

The court’s decision has also been met with criticism from pro-life advocates, who argue that it is wrong to allow for abortions to be performed in cases where the mother’s life is in danger. They argue that it is wrong to put the life of the mother above the life of the unborn child and that it is wrong to allow for abortions to be performed in cases where the mother’s life is not in danger.
The Oklahoma Supreme Court’s ruling on Tuesday is a troubling decision that goes against the will of the people of Oklahoma and should be overturned. This ruling shows that it is more important than ever for pro-life advocates to continue fighting for the rights of the unborn and to elect judges who will uphold the values of the people of Oklahoma. It is also a reminder that we must remain vigilant in our fight for life and continue to stand up for what we believe in.
