Ohio’s proposed constitutional amendment on abortion should concern both medical professionals who care about the health of their patients as well as citizens concerned about their healthcare. Patients in Ohio can already receive the excellent care they need under current state laws. Under current state law, physicians can provide care for women with life-threatening pregnancy complications, including miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.
This proposed constitutional amendment was specifically crafted using vague language that appears benign, but which would make Ohio one of the most extreme pro-abortion states in the country.
