On November 1st a temprary injunction was granted to keep SB 1878 from taking effect. This happened in light of the lawsuit filed by The Center for Reproductive Rights on behalf of Tulsa's Reproductive Services, one of the three abortion providers in the state. More about the lawsuit can be found here.
The temporary injuction will remain in effect until March 27 or until a ruling is made in a request for a preliminary injunction - whichever happens first.
SB 1878 was scheduled to go into law on November 1st.
