4/21/20 UPDATE: A federal district judge in Oklahoma granted a preliminary injunction allowing most abortion care to continue in the state, and allowing abortion access to resume fully on Friday, April 24, despite Gov. Kevin Stitt’s order banning abortion during the COVID-19 pandemic. The judge previously granted a temporary restraining order allowing most abortion care to continue through April 20, but yesterday’s decision extends that relief until the case concludes, and allows all abortion care to resume on Friday, April 24. 

4/6/20 UPDATE: A federal judge has issued a temporary stay on the dangerous and cruel abortion ban put in place by Gov. Stitt. That means abortion will be accessible while this court challenge proceeds. The order is temporary so the fight is not yet over, but we are relieved to know that those in need of abortion care will be able to access it for the time being.

3/30/20 UPDATE: Our friends at the Center for Reproductive Rights and Planned Parenthood Federation of America have filed suit against Oklahoma for exploiting the COVID-19 pandemic to cut off abortion access. Clinics are not yet able to perform abortions again, so until then contact us or use this guide if you need resources to access abortion care.

3/27/20 UPDATE: On Friday, March 27 Governor Stitt ordered health centers to stop performing abortions as part of the ban on elective surgeries. We want Oklahomans to know they are still able to get other sexual and reproductive health care. Given the time sensitive nature of abortions, and the life altering impact of being denied access to abortion, clinics must be allowed to continue providing care.

We know that COVID19 is very serious, and that front line health care staff are putting their lives on the line, with limited access to personal protective equipment. We also have to stress that abortion care will always be an essential and extremely time sensitive medical procedure. Oklahoma Call for Reproductive Justice is continuing to work with attorneys and allied organizations to direct folks to resources and to reopen clinics quickly.

Until that time, we have compiled the following list of resources and places to ask questions if you are in need of abortion care at this time:
