'The best we can tell you to do is sit in the parking lot, and if anything else happens,' Doctors were reluctant to treat Oklahoma woman, Jaci Statton due to three separate anti-abortion laws that are in effect in the state.
that are in effect in Oklahoma: The Oklahoma Heartbeat Act, which prohibits physicians from ‘knowingly’ providing an abortion after ‘detect[ing] a fetal heartbeat’ and allows any individual to bring a civil action against anyone who provides care or helps someone obtain it, and which contains an exception for “medical emergencies” and to “save the life” of the pregnant person; H.B.
At one hospital, a staff member consulted with a doctor before telling the caller, “Nowhere in the state of Oklahoma can you get an abortion for any reason,” despite the exceptions. “One representative, for example, claimed that doctors at that hospital are not allowed to perform certain procedures for ‘ethical reasons,’ but would not clarify what those procedures or ethical concerns are,” the report reads.
