Anti-abortion advocates say they are working with Ohio lawmakers to put forward a total abortion ban. This comes after the Ohio Supreme Court dismissed the state’s appeal to enforce a near-total abortion ban.

Abortion was voted into law and became a constitutional right in Ohio, and the state is already seeing the results in court.

“Relief is like the primary feeling,” Antony Fair with Preterm Cleveland said. “It felt really good to be able to not have that fear about it getting appealed.”

The Ohio Supreme Court dismissed the state’s appeal on the six-week ban, a case covered extensively by News 5, sending it back to the state court that blocked it. (snip)

It would create a total abortion ban, with an exception for the life of the mother. It would make the procedure or abortion pill a homicide.

Under the proposed bill, the only lawful abortion would need to meet all of the following conditions: be performed by a licensed physician, be intended to save the life of the mother in danger of death, result in an unintentional rather than intentional death of the “preborn human,” and be performed after all other “reasonable options” to save both mother and child have been attempted or are unavailable.

The cells, zygote, embryo, fetus and eventually baby-in-womb would have all the same rights as someone who is already born, meaning all criminal and civil laws would apply.
