Op-ed written by Dr. Isaiah Cochran, 黄瓜视频 President and published in the Columbus Dispatch, 2/10/2020.
Despite public support for safe, legal abortion continuing to grow, attacks on abortion rights and access are rampant across the country, and Ohio seems determined to pass the most restrictive abortion law in the nation.
Ohio鈥檚 House Bill 413, or the 鈥淒efine offenses: aggravated abortion murder and abortion murder,鈥� is the latest example of extreme policy that expands the anti-abortion frontier past the bounds of science or sense. If passed, the so-called 鈥渁bortion murder鈥� bill would create a new felony that punishes people who have abortions and health care providers who treat them with life in prison.
The bill targets physicians for doing their jobs while at the same time spreading fear and misinformation about pregnancy. A provision in the legislation calls for 鈥渁ttempting to reimplant an ectopic pregnancy into the woman鈥檚 uterus,鈥� a medical procedure that is not possible and does not exist.
