Legislation that would ban abortion upon the detection of a heartbeat, which occurs around six weeks of pregnancy, is currently under review by the Ohio Supreme Court.
As early voting continues on the controversial Issue 1 abortion proposal in Ohio, pro-life groups are warning that the vague language in the proposed amendment could strip away parental rights and lead to late-term, partial-birth abortions on demand there.
Early voting began on Oct. 11 in the state, including on the proposed amendment to the state constitution that would guarantee the right to “every individual” to make “reproductive decisions,” including those on abortion. Under the new rule, lawmakers could only prohibit an abortion after “fetal viability” was established.
Supporters and opponents of the proposal have disputed what impact the proposed language would have on late-term and partial-birth abortions in the state, how viability will be measured, and whether children will need parental consent to procure an abortion.
Under current Ohio law, abortion is legal up to 22 weeks of pregnancy. Legislation that would ban abortion upon the detection of a heartbeat, which occurs around six weeks of pregnancy, is currently under review by the Ohio Supreme Court.
