But the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights, which challenged the law in court, said it unfairly targeted doctors and facilities that perform abortions. In a unanimous opinion, the nine-member Oklahoma Supreme Court found the law violated the state constitution's requirement that each legislative bill must address only "one subject." The state unsuccessfully asserted that each part of the law addressed a single subject: women's reproductive health. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Texas law imposing strict regulations on doctors and facilities that perform abortions. A similar law is on hold in Oklahoma while the state Supreme Court considers its legality.
