Ohio - Abolitionists Rising

Ohio

Status of Abortion:

Legal

for mothers.

Legal

for abortionists.

Abortion is currently legal up to 22 weeks in Ohio. The State’s heartbeat law is currently enjoined as it makes its way through the State courts. A bill of abolition was prepared and expected to be filed by Rep. Bill Dean (R-71). As has been the case in every other state, Pro-life organizations and legislative leaders mobilized against the effort. The resulting pressure led to Rep. Dean's decision to not file the bill. Once again, pro-life leaders successfully stifled efforts to protect the lives of our preborn neighbors. Ohio Right to Life and the Center for Christian virtue somehow convinced Rep. Dean that filing the bill providing equal protection and equal justice to preborn humans would damage life and Christian values. At their behest, Rep. Dean now refuses to allow anyone to see the language of the bill.
