- The Oklahoma Supreme Court has issued temporary injunctions on three laws related to abortion and abortion pills, indicating a potential consideration of whether abortion rights are implied in the state constitution.
- Reproductive rights groups filed a suit in October 2021 challenging five bills from the state legislature that imposed restrictions on and regulations for abortion procedures, contending that all five laws violated the due process clause of the Oklahoma Constitution.
- Initially, the Oklahoma County District Court granted a temporary injunction against two of the laws but allowed three to remain in effect: House Bill 1904, Senate Bill 778, and Senate Bill 779.
