Although it’s not often discussed, abortion is not an uncommon experience because unintended pregnancy occurs across racial, ethnic, class, and gender lines. In fact, it is estimated that one in four child-bearing people have an abortion by the time they reach 45; over half are individuals who already have children. Abortion is completely legal and is one of the safest surgical procedures in the United States. Abortion at any gestational age is typically 14 times safer overall than carrying to term.

The patient will simply have to listen to someone from the clinic read the required information. To reduce the wait times, go online and print out any patient information forms. Fill them out and bring them to your appointment. How can I afford it? How can I afford 12 The cost of an abortion is an impediment to most women. In Oklahoma, abortions typically cost between $650 and $2,100. Public funds such as Medicaid cannot be used to pay for the procedure. If you cannot afford an abortion, please contact the clinic where your procedure is at and ask them about funding for your procedure. Depending on which clinic you choose, you may have access to additional funds through NAF – The National Abortion Federation or NNAF – The National Network of Abortion Funds. Patients will have to meet federal poverty guidelines and live in Oklahoma. NAF can only give set amounts to patients based on their gestation, but if the patient has extraordinary circumstances or is facing a price change or procedure change, the clinic can ask for an exception to allow the patient to receive more funding. If they do the clinic has to also contribute their own funding or discount to the patient’s cost. Patients coming to Trust Women or Reproductive Services in Tulsa will typically do an intake with the clinic staff, but they can still call the NAF hotline. It’s 1-800-772- 9100. Roe funding is extremely limited right now so most funding for Oklahoma patients is coming from NAF. Patients from Arkansas, Texas, Missouri or Kansas can access other funds depending on where they live. If the situation is extraordinary the clinic may be able to provide additional help with lodging or other needs. Other restrictions on abortion funding in the state of Oklahoma: Abortion is not covered in private insurance policies unless the person’s life is in danger or unless an optional rider (an addition to your insurance policy) is purchased at an additional cost Health plans offered in the state’s health exchange under the Affordable Care Act can only cover abortion in cases when the person’s life is endangered, unless an optional rider is purchased at an additional cost Abortion is not covered in insurance policies for public employees unless the person’s life is in danger. TRICARE (military insurance for service members and dependents) does not cover elective abortion, but has covered it in cases of medical necessity, fetal abnormality, or rape. The Procedure 14 A medical abortion is the most common and least invasive method of abortion. For this method, Mifiprex and Misoprostol pills are used and end an early pregnancy up to 70 days from your last menstrual period. The cut off for medication abortion is 10 weeks for both Trust Women’s and Planned Parenthood. Mifiprex blocks the hormone progesterone, a naturally occurring hormone that prepares the uterus for a fertilized egg and helps maintain pregnancy. Without progesterone the pregnancy cannot continue and the lining of the uterus softens, breaks down, and bleeding begins. Mifiprex is followed by a prostaglandin, Misoprostol, which causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy. Some people describe the process as similar to a miscarriage. This medication can begin to work immediately, or it can take up to 72 hours to be completely effective. Make sure you’re at home or in a safe and comfortable place. Please note, there will be bleeding and cramping because your body is excreting the lining of your uterus. For a lot of people, the abortion is complete within 4 or 5 hours of taking the Mifiprex and/or Misoprostol but for others, it can take a few days. As with any medical procedure, please make sure to follow up with a healthcare practitioner. Patients are likely to have period type bleeding or heavier for at least two weeks with the medication abortion even after the pregnancy has passed. It is also extremely important to have a follow up appointment as it has a 3 to 5% failure rate leading to tissue or a continuing pregnancy in the uterus.

If you’re just joining us, this is the second part of our special two-part season finale of CHOICE/LESS. So, please go back and listen to Part One. Jenn Stanley: If abortion is criminalized, what is the punishment, do you think, and who gets punished? Joseph Spurgeon: I believe that the—that abortion is murder and that whenever someone kills a person or whether they hire a hit man to do it, they are—both the hitman and the person who does it—are liable for murder. Jenn Stanley: That’s Joseph Spurgeon, a local leader of Operation Save America in southern Indiana and Kentucky. You might remember him from the last episode. He’s the man who said Louisville’s high crime rate was due to God’s anger over the abortion clinic and the city’s reputation for being LGBTQ- friendly. So, why am I on the phone with Joe Spurgeon? I didn’t call him.

Abreu I. INTRODUCTION Oklahoma’s abortion law1 is unique among the United States. * B.S. in Engineering, Purdue University; M.D., Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences School of Medicine; J.D. with Certificate in Health Law, 2011, Oklahoma City University School of Law. Dr. Abreu is a board certified nuclear medicine physician who has also trained in diagnostic radiology, including sonography. Among other positions, her experience includes serving as Chief, Department of Radiology, and Chief, Quality Services Division, Womack Army Medical Center, Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Dr. Abreu thanks Dr. Janet Neutze and Professor Maribob Lee for their expert advice and support. 1. OKLA. STAT. tit. 63, §§ 1-730 to -741.12 (OSCN through 2011 Leg. Sess.). After this Note was written, Oklahoma County District Court permanently enjoined enforcement of the Ultrasound Act, 2010 Okla. Sess. Laws 173, finding violation of the Oklahoma Constitution article V, section 46 (prohibiting special laws that authorize limitations of civil actions) and section 59 (requiring a general law, rather than a special law, when a general law could be applied). Nova Health Sys. v. Pruitt, No. CV-2010-533 (Dist. Ct., Okla. Cnty., Okla. Mar. 28, 2012) (motion to reconsider denied May 23, 2012).

  • The Purpose of This Submission from Reproductive Rights and Justice
    May 21, 2019 Working Group on Discrimination against Women in Law and Practice c/o OHCHR-UNOG Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Palais Wilson 1211 Geneva 10, Switzerland Dear Members of the UN Working Group on Discrimination against Women: The purpose of this submission from reproductive rights and justice organizations is to detail the developments in the United States regarding reproductive rights and justice since the Working Group’s visit to the U.S. in 2015. As reflected in this follow-up report, the United States has failed to implement recommendations made the Working Group at the conclusion of its visit. In addition, since 2015, the political and policy landscape in the United States for women’s rights, including reproductive rights, has worsened considerably, resulting in a significant retrogression of rights. In submitting this follow-up report, we respectfully urge the Working Group to note concern with the retrogression surrounding the reproductive rights law and policy landscape in the United States and remind the U.S. of its obligations to ensure women’s rights to equality and non- discrimination and their rights to reproductive and sexual health.

    30.2 COLUMBIA JOURNAL OF GENDER AND LAW 549 “UNDUE” DELEGATION: PRIVATE DELEGATION AND OTHER STRATEGIES TO CHALLENGE ADMITTING-PRIVILEGES LAWS JACQUELINE Y. MA* INTRODUCTION In November 2015, the Supreme Court granted certiorari to Whole Woman’s Health v. Cole,1 the first reproductive rights case to reach the court since Gonzales v. Carhart 2 eight years before. In the intervening time, states have passed an astonishing number of laws and regulations that encroach on women’s access to abortion. Many such laws ostensibly aim to protect the woman and her fetus. Yet these same laws do so by imposing medically unnecessary and onerous procedural requirements on women,3 which can erect massive barriers to abortion access for individuals. Other state laws aim to regulate not the activities of women, but those of abortion providers, who are not a protected class. The reproductive rights movement terms these laws Targeted Regulations of Abortion Providers, or TRAP laws.4 State legislatures’ passage of TRAP laws accelerated after the Supreme Court’s * J.D.

  • Sanctity of Human Sunday
    SANCTITY OF HUMAN Life SUNDAY PASTOR’S PREACHING/RESOURCE E-KIT A resource guide to help pastors easily and effectively share the Gospel and defend unborn life. DEAR PASTOR, As Southern Baptists, we have strongly held beliefs, grounded in Scripture, regarding the sanctity and value of all human life. We believe every person’s life, from conception to natural death, is created in the image of God (Gen. 1:27). As ministers of the Gospel, we have a special responsibility to affirm that truth about human life and to speak up for the vulnerable, including the unborn Greg McNeece Dr. Hance Dilbeck and others. OBHC President BGCO Executive Direc- Sadly, no longer is life held as sacred in our culture. tor-Treasurer This is shown time and time again by tragic news of children abused by their parents, the elderly neglected, and the abortion rate recently increasing by 10%, as the number of abortion centers have increased in Oklahoma. For these reasons, we want to encourage you and your congregation to make Sanctity of Human Life Sunday a priority. The 2019 Sunday emphasis takes place January 20, and by preaching on the issue of life and making this an emphasis, together we can have an impact. The BGCO’s Ethics and Religious Liberties Committee and Hope Pregnancy Centers, a ministry of Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children, have teamed up to create free resources to help you prepare, including videos, bulletin inserts and a pastor’s preaching/resource guide. Additional information to assist your church in ministering to those facing an unplanned pregnancy is also available.

REV. 49 (2020) REVERSE LEGAL TRANSPLANTS* SITAL KALANTRY** In early modern history, laws often moved in one direction—from imperial nations to their colonies. In the contemporary era, we would expect legal solutions to move in many directions, including from economically weaker countries (“Global South” countries) to economically more developed ones (“Global North” countries). The legal transplant literature, however, documents relatively few transplants from Global South countries to Global North countries. There is also little critical analysis in the literature about why there is a paucity of “reverse legal transplants”—transplants from Global South countries to Global North countries. This Article presents a case study of a reverse legal transplant—the movement of restrictions on abortion from India to the United States. U.S. statutes restricting women from terminating their pregnancies on the basis of the predicted sex of the fetus have been enacted in nine states and introduced in over half of all state legislatures and the U.S.
