Court Upholds Two Pro-Life Oklahoma Laws.
Separate panels of the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals have ruled against an abortion clinic's challenges to two Oklahoma laws: one requiring parents to be notified of their minor daughter's abortion, and another requiring abortionists to pay for medical costs if an abortion is performed without parents' knowledge. The decisions were hailed by pro-lifers.
"The rulings mean so much for the babies' lives that will be saved, the young girls who will be helped, and the parents who will be able to 'be there' for their minor daughters in a time of crisis," Tony Lauinger, state chairman of Oklahomans for Life, told NRL News.
Gov. Brad Henry signed the parental notification law May 20, and it went into effect immediately. In addition to requiring an abortionist to notify parents 48 hours before a minor's abortion, the law also includes a provision recognizing unborn children as victims when they are injured or killed during the commission of a crime of violence and one requiring women to receive detailed information 24 hours before an abortion so they can make informed decisions.
As soon as Henry signed the law, Nova Health Systems, which operates the Reproductive Services abortion clinic in Tulsa, challenged the parental notification provision and asked for an injunction to prevent enforcement of the law. However, U.S. Senior District Judge H. Dale Cook rejected the challenge May 27, stating that the law "does not infringe on a minor's constitutional right to an abortion nor does the Act deny expedited access to the courts to authorize a minor's abortion without one of her parents' notification," according to the Associated Press (AP).
