In a state where abortion currently remains legal, Ohio lawmakers have drafted a bill to add two new felony charges to the Ohio criminal code, reports ReWire: “abortion murder” and “aggravated abortion murder.” If this bill were to pass, any pregnant person, medical practitioner, or child over the age of 14 would be subject to a fine no less than $1500, life imprisonment or, in the case of “aggravated abortion murder”—the death penalty.

ReWire: “abortion murder” and “aggravated abortion murder.” If this bill were to pass, any pregnant person, medical practitioner, or child over the age of 14 would be subject to a fine no less than $1500, life imprisonment or, in the case of “aggravated abortion murder”—the death penalty.

The new Ohio bill, HB 413, is an even more extreme and restrictive version of Alabama’s Human Life Protection Act,. While the Alabama bill made certain allowances for having an abortion in favor of the life and health of the mother, HB 413 would require a physician to believe that a “pregnant woman would die from a certain fatal condition.” The bill does not list the pregnancy itself as a potentially fatal condition.
