A federal appeals court on April 13 upheld a lower court order that overturned Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt’s temporary ban on abortions in the state during the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus outbreak.

The unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel of the Denver-based 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday allows abortions to continue in Oklahoma, the ban issued by Stitt notwithstanding.
