All abortions including cases of rape, incest could become illegal

If a group of Republican lawmakers get their way, every abortion within the state of Ohio would be illegal, including cases of rape, incest, or when a pregnancy is putting a woman’s life in danger.

The bill would allow for criminal charges to be brought up against a woman seeking abortions as an “unborn human” would be considered a person under Ohio’s criminal code regarding homicide, reports 10TV. 

Doctors who perform abortions could face murder charges punishable by prison or death sentence.

Reps. Ron Hood of Ashville, and Nino Vitale of Urbana, sponsored the measure.

Last week, 10TV reports a judge put on hold a state ban on abortions if the fetus is diagnosed with Down syndrome.
