Ohio’s pro-abortion rights groups plan fights against total abortion ban bill
OHIO CAPITAL JOURNAL
Pro-abortion rights advocates are taking a proposed total abortion ban in Ohio to heart. Noting the celebration of Juneteenth and Black emancipation, they say the use of the 14th Amendment to try to exert state control over individual freedom and bodily autonomy is vile.
The new bill a pair of freshman Republican House lawmakers are planning to introduce would ban abortion and criminalize it, along with in-vitro fertilization and certain types of contraception. The measure’s filing was first reported by WEWS. The bill is meant as a direct challenge to the state reproductive rights amendment passed by 57% of Ohio voters in 2023.
