Abortion in Oklahoma

Abortion in Oklahoma is illegal unless the abortion is necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman.

Oklahoma banned abortion in 1910 and it remained banned until the United States' Supreme Court 1973 decision Roe v. Wade. Oklahoma became the first state in the United States to institute a ban on abortion from fertilisation post-Roe v. Wade in April 2022, two months before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the case in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. In March 2023, the Oklahoma Supreme Court found the Oklahoma Constitution's provisions guaranteeing due process and a right to life guaranteed a limited right to an abortion when there is reasonable certainty pregnancy threatens a woman's life.
