Ohio AG asks justices to lift order blocking abortion law

Ohio’s attorney general has asked the Ohio Supreme Court to weigh in on the future of the state’s near-ban on abortions, despite arguing less than six months ago that the same court lacked jurisdiction to determine the paused law’s constitutionality.   
DeWine has changed the overall make up of the Ohio Supreme Court with the appointment of a family friend with absolutely no judicial experience and ties to one of the largest corruption scandals in Ohio's history, HB6.

Ohio is not done with coming between you and your doctor. This bill will prevent IVF which will unfairly target LGBTQ and people with disabilities. 

The Ohio Republicans are loud and clear this is about control not about unborn life. We have seen how they handled the pregnancy of a 10 year old child. We are watching them avoid debate after debate so they don't have to admit this is not about life, it is about control. 

There is no surprise that our current local legislator J. Kyle Koehler recently attended a march for life on the steps of our state capitol building. Several GOP members stood there to support the passage of a bill that will criminalize abortions, force small children into giving birth before their body is ready, and it will discriminate against those this party has sought to abolish. Countless Republican law makers admit that they do not know what these bills are designed to do or how dangerous child birth actually is. They tout there is a exceptions for the life of the mother but they did not write these bills. These bills have been written by lobbyists and paid for by dark money. 

There is no exception for the life of the mother in the manner one would think. The mother must be actively dying, a 10 year old would be forced to carry the fetus until her body is septic or undergoing current organ failure before medical intervention. If this 10 year old is able to carry the fetus until she was weeks away from the end of the pregnancy, this child would be forced to give birth. She would under go painful hours of labor and the child would not be aborted. It would be a live birth and she would be forced to share custody with her rapist. While this all sounds crazy and hard to believe, it isn't.

Texas is actively denying just how many women are dying under their cruel draconian laws and are refusing to release key data until after the midterms. 

Ohio will be the next state to outlaw abortion 

State lawmakers are also currently considering a so-called “trigger law” -- which, if enacted, would automatically ban abortions in Ohio as soon as Roe v. Wade is overturned, with no exceptions for rape or incest. Doing so would make Ohio the 14th state to enact such a law, including the neighboring Kentucky and several southern and Midwestern states with Republican state legislatures.

DeWine stated in an Ohio Right To Life survey ahead of this year’s primary that he would sign “trigger law”-type legislation if Roe v. Wade was overturned, according to gubernatorial spokesman Dan Tierney.

Ohio Bounty Style Total Abortion Ban HB480 with co-sponsor J. Kyle Koehler, District 79 serving most of Clark County is making its way through the Ohio Statehouse.

HB 480 is a ban that goes into effect at fertilization, this forces a rape victim to carry her rapists child to term and could be forced to share custody unless they jump through additional hopes. According to RAINN's publication in March 2020, the victim must petition the Court to establish the offender as the parent and then petition to terminate rapist’s parental rights. The victim must show by clear and convincing evidence that rapist parent plead guilty, or was conviction of rape or sexual battery that resulted in the conception of the child.

“Ohio has once again proved it is one of the most extreme states for abortion access. This bill goes further than Texas Senate Bill 8, the most extreme abortion ban in the country, and would ban all abortions. It allows anyone — including anti-abortion protesters who have no connection to the patient — to act as paid bounty hunters and take doctors, health centers, and anyone who helps another person access abortion to court and get no less than $10,000. Banning abortion would be catastrophic to communities across Ohio. Lawmakers and anti-abortion vigilantes have no business making personal medical decisions for their neighbors.” - Planned Parenthood

Near total abortion ban proposed in Ohio mimics Texas law but goes further

OAES

Ohio House Bill 480 would ban all abortions in Ohio — going further than the Texas anti-abortion law that was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on November 1st. OAESV is concerned because, just like Texas’s Senate Bill 8, the Ohio measure has no exceptions for rape or incest.

Ohio Capital Journal 

Ohio’s 2020 abortion report from the Ohio Department of Health showed 20,605 abortions in 2020, more than half of which were induced at less than nine weeks gestation. Of the 441 abortions induced in 19 or more weeks gestation, none were considered viable in medical testing, including ultrasounds.

The Ohio State legislators are currently working towards passing an abortion trigger ban, The Human Life Protection Act, House Bill 598.

Ohio legislators and anti-abortion speakers argue over abortion ban in contentious hearing.

The House Government Oversight Committee held its second hearing on House Bill 598 on Thursday, which would ban abortion in Ohio in the event that Roe v. Wade is overturned. The proposal does not include exceptions for rape or incest. It does create an “affirmative defense” for physicians, meaning doctors could defend themselves against criminal charges if they conduct an abortion under life-threatening situations.

"I want it to be something that is sculpted constitutionally, and we don't know really what the decision is going to say," Huffman said. "I think it (an abortion ban) will pass. I think a substantial number of our caucus will support it. I just don't know whether we can ascertain all of that in the next two weeks." 

House Speaker Bob Cupp, R-Lima, didn't say when his chamber planned to pass its trigger ban, House Bill 598. "We're having discussions about how to handle that appropriately."

Huffman said he's been waiting for an end to Roe v. Wade for decades, volunteering at a pregnancy help center that his mother founded to offer alternatives to abortion. "It's something that a lot of us have been waiting to happen."
