COLUMBUS, June 24, 2022:<\/a> Today, state Senator Teresa Fedor (D-Toledo) issued the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in\u00a0Dobbs v.

\u201cThis decision marks the largest reversal of personal privacy rights in the history of the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Supreme Court\u2019s ruling strips women of our bodily autonomy and dignity, and completely alters what it means to be a woman or girl in America today. Eliminating the right to abortion doesn\u2019t stop abortions \u2013 it only serves to stop safe abortions and is particularly oppressive to Black, impoverished, and working-class women. Forcing a woman to give birth is traumatizing and inhumane, especially for those who are pregnant as a result of abuse.<\/p>\n

\u201cPoliticians have no place getting involved in such a personal decision that should be left to the individual and their health care provider. Unfortunately, Republicans\u2019 crusade to pass legislation that the majority of Ohioans oppose is a testament to the undemocratic and cruel ideology of their party. Thanks to the supermajority power they hoard through gerrymandering, Ohio is becoming a dangerous and intolerant state. We must do everything in our power to change the direction of our state.”<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court\u2019s ruling means Ohio will seek to reinstate its \u201cheartbeat bill,\u201d passed by the General Assembly in 2019. The legislation outlaws abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected \u2013 which can be as early as six weeks after conception, often before most women are aware they are pregnant. Health care professionals have testified that the bill would restrict their autonomy to provide what can be lifesaving care in certain circumstances. Doctors who violate this law by performing an abortion after detecting a heartbeat would face a fifth-degree felony and up to a year in prison. The State Medical Board could also take disciplinary action against doctors and impose penalties of up to $20,000.<\/p>\n

A 2019 Quinnipiac University poll found that 52% of Ohioans opposed the legislation.<\/p>\n

Governor Mike DeWine has also signaled he would support legislation currently being considered by the General Assembly to ban all abortions in Ohio with no exceptions for rape or incest. A Gallup poll conducted in May found that 85% of Americans believe abortion should be legal under all or certain circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
