Ohio Bill Would Grant Legal Personhood at Conception
WWNR RADIO
The Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act, if passed, would assign personhood at conception, giving fertilized eggs the same civil and criminal protections as “born” people, therefore making abortion homicide, as well as targeting certain forms of contraception and IVF.
Issue 1 gave Ohio citizens the right to make reproductive decisions, including abortion, which would make HB 370 unconstitutional, Firsich said. However, anti-abortion groups, such as the Foundation to Abolish Abortion, said Issue 1 should be treated as “null and void” as it contradicts the U.S. Constitution.
