Ohio Republican Lawmakers Propose Bill to Ban All Abortions

HeadlineMar 26, 2018

Back in the United States, Republican lawmakers in Ohio have proposed a bill that would ban all abortions. The bill, HB 565, would also allow prosecutors to pursue criminal charges, including murder charges, against patients and abortion providers. In Ohio, murder is punishable by the death penalty. Pro-choice advocates say the Ohio bill is part of a campaign by “anti-choice extremists” aimed at forcing the Supreme Court to reconsider its landmark Roe v. Wade decision.
