Policies in Ohio
Currently, abortion is legal up to viability. Ohio has a "fetal heartbeat" law, which prevents nearly all abortions if a fetal heartbeat is detected (generally five to six weeks). However, a court has blocked enforcement of the law for the time-being. This area of the law is highly fluid

- ‘Let Their Hearts Beat’ Echoes Throughout OhioThe Pro-Life Generation is made up of passionate movers and shakers — not complacent watchers and waiters — and that is why only a little over a week after a pro-abortion judge in Ohio temporarily blocked the Ohio Heartbeat Law, a swarm of pro-life activists immediately responded. Here’s how Ohio Students for Life of America (SFLA) groups reacted to the wrongful blocking of the law and why rapid response is important in the pro-life movement: When Ohio Judge Christian Jenkins recently blocked this pro-life law by issuing a 14-day stay as a part of a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Ohio, abortion unfortunately was once again made legal through 20-weeks in the state. This devasting decision has drastically changed the abortion landscape in Ohio, and although the stay is “brief,” it will be fatal for numerous preborn children who might have been otherwise saved. As… Read more »

- Ohio judge temporarily halts state’s ‘heartbeat law’An Ohio judge has temporarily halted the state’s heartbeat law for the next two weeks while a lawsuit against the state proceeds. The temporary restraining order means that babies up to 20 weeks gestation can be aborted in the state until September 28th. The decision was made by Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Christian A. Jenkins, who declared the law “unconstitutional” and granted the injunction because he believes the plaintiffs have a chance at winning their lawsuit. “S.B. 23 clearly discriminates against pregnant women and places an enormous burden on them to secure safe and effective health care such that it violates Ohio’s Equal Protection and Benefit Clause and is therefore unconstitutional,” he said. In his ruling, Judge Jenkins also brought up the case of a 10-year-old victim of sexual assault. The case made headlines in July, as an abortionist in the state claims she had to send the… Read more »
- Pro-Life States Will File Lawsuit Against Joe Biden’s Illegal Plan to Turn VA Hospitals Into Abortion ClinicsPro-Life states are gearing up for a lawsuit against the Biden administration after Joe Biden finalized a plan to turn VA hospitals into abortion clinics. The Department of Veterans Affairs said it plans to kill babies in abortions in cases of rape or incest or in cases where the mother’s life or health is in danger, even though doctors repeatedly say abortions are never medically necessary. But, states like Alabama and Arkansas will likely be leading the way in defending their abortion bans from the federal government usurping them by authorizing VA hospitals to sell dangerous abortion drugs or do surgical abortions ending the lives of unborn children. Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall said last week he would enforce his state’s abortion ban, which outlaws all abortions except in cases that threaten the life of the pregnant person, against any practitioner who violates it. “I have no intention of abdicating… Read more »
