Stitt has clarified his amended executive order about postponing elective surgeries which are not defined as a “medical emergency” under state law.

That means no elective abortions unless “to prevent serious health risks to the unborn child’s mother.” That order lasts through April 7.

The order includes routine dermatological, ophthalmological, and dental procedures, as well as most scheduled healthcare procedures such as orthopedic surgeries.

Per Stitt’s order, the abortion clinics in Oklahoma, including Tulsa, are closed to surgical abortions. As of Monday, eight states – Ohio, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Iowa and Oklahoma have stopped abortions. Thirty states have issued orders to stop surgical abortions but at least 12 are violating those orders.
