Abortion providers in Oklahoma said they’re still seeing an influx of women from Texas who want to terminate their pregnancies.
Tong said the company’s Oklahoma City clinic went from seeing 12 Texas patients in August to 130 in September after the Texas law passed. She said their clinic in Kansas saw similar increases.
Tong, Wales and other abortion rights advocates say they're particularly concerned the Oklahoma Legislature intends to follow Texas' lead and pass a similar bill or even more onerous restrictions that could bring an end to abortion services in Oklahoma altogether. Meanwhile, hundreds of anti-abortion activists are expected to descend on the Oklahoma Capitol on Wednesday for the annual Rose Day where they present red roses meant to signify the lives of the unborn and encourage the passage of anti-abortion bills.
