Banning abortion not only robs people of their choice to not have a child, but it can also have catastrophic physical consequences for pregnant women. In Oklahoma, Jaci Statton had a molar pregnancy, a medical condition that would not allow her to bear a child and was causing her to be very sick. However, because Oklahoma has three different abortion bans, Statton was unable to receive treatment from three different hospitals and was eventually advised to go out of state to receive the treatment she needed. Please sign this petition to demand that Oklahoma lawmakers reverse their bans on abortions immediately!
