As Roe v. Wade looks likely to be overturned, tribal lands have come up in conversations on social media and elsewhere as potential safe havens for those seeking abortions.
In Oklahoma, which has enacted some of the nation's most restrictive abortion laws, Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt recently warned Indigenous tribes against setting up abortion clinics on their lands -- comments that the Cherokee Nation, the largest tribe in the state, referred to as irresponsible speculation and an attack on tribal sovereignty.Though the US recognizes tribal nations as sovereign entities with the inherent authority to govern themselves, the reality is much more complicated.
Kevin Stitt speaks after signing into law a bill that would make performing or attempting to perform an abortion a felony.Take, for example, Oklahoma. One law set to take effect there this summer would make performing or attempting to perform an abortion a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and/or a $100,000 fine, except in the case of medical emergencies.
