Supreme Court asked to toss law requiring admitting privileges for abortion doctors
OKLAHOMA CITY — A Norman abortion provider on Thursday asked the Oklahoma Supreme Court to toss out a 2014 law requiring him to obtain admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles.
Dr. Larry A. Burns is appealing a Feb. 18 finding by Oklahoma County District Judge Don Andrews that Senate Bill 1848 did not violate various provisions of law.
Burns is represented by the Center for Reproductive Rights, a New York-based organization that has successfully challenged other Oklahoma abortion laws.
The law has been put on hold pending the outcome of the legal challenge.
“It is just one in a long series of comprehensive and progressively more onerous restrictions providers have been forced to challenge to continue providing health care and avert systematic legislative efforts to dismantle abortion access in the state,” the challenge states.
