The Oklahoma House on Monday passed a bill that would restrict the use of abortion inducing drugs by a vote of 81-8, the Associated Press reported.
The Oklahoma Supreme Court struck down a similar measure in 2012, arguing that the law violated the Supreme Court’s 1992 ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey. The U.S. Supreme Court then declined take up the case.
Rep. Randy Grau (R), the sponsor of the new bill, said the court was wrong to invalidate his last attempt, according to the AP. The new bill states that it aims to “overrule the decision of the Oklahoma Supreme Court.”
The measure would mandate that doctors only administer abortion drugs according to Federal Food and Drug Administration instructions, which would effectively ban the use of certain abortion inducing drugs, according to the AP.
