- Ohio Senate committee to hear support for 24-hour abortion waiting period in committee this week
The Ohio Senate committee will consider reinstating a 24-hour waiting period for abortions through House Bill 347, despite a prior court block due to a constitutional amendment protecting reproductive rights. Supporters argue the bill provides necessary information, while opponents call it redundant and inconsistent with the 2023 constitutional amendment. The Ohio State Medical Board, which includes members from non-obstetrics/gynecology medical fields and anti-abortion groups, would oversee disclosure requirements.
