The court voted 5-3 to prohibit laws that restricted medication-induced abortions and require doctors who perform abortions to be board-certified in obstetrics and gynecology.

Three anti-abortion laws that were set to go into effect on November 1 were temporarily blocked by the Oklahoma Supreme Court on Monday.

Earlier this month, Oklahoma County District Judge Cindy Truong also blocked a bill that would have deemed abortions"unprofessional conduct" by physicians and would have prevented the procedure once a fetal heartbeat is detected—usually around six weeks, which is before most people know they're pregnant.

"Oklahomans will face tremendous delays and costs in accessing abortion, and many will be entirely prevented from obtaining care in the state," the filing said."The State's intent is clear—to limit and prohibit abortion access in any conceivable way."
