In her continued effort to make life as hard as possible for the women of Oklahoma, Governor Mary Fallin signed a new law last night that triples the state’s abortion waiting period, from 24 to 72 hours. Arkansas also recently extended its waiting period, and Florida and Tennessee are considering bills to do the same.

South Dakota's new 72-hour abortion wait is the longest nationwide, and alone in requiring a crisis pregnancy center visit. "I hope that women who are considering an abortion will use this three-day period to make good choices," the governor said.
