Anti-abortion groups seeking to build opposition to a reproductive rights measure in Ohio are messaging heavily around a term for an abortion procedure that hasn’t been legal in the U.S. for over 15 years.
By Julie Carr Smyth, Associated PressMarchers move down Front Street during the Ohio March for Life after a rally at the Ohio State House in Columbus, Ohio, Friday, Oct. 6, 2023. As campaigning escalates in Ohio’s fall fight over abortion rights, a new line of attack from opponents suggests “partial-birth” abortions would be revived if a proposed constitutional amendment passes.
“For many years, in Ohio and in this country, we’ve had a law that said a partial-birth abortion — where the child is partially delivered and then killed and then finally delivered — was illegal in Ohio,” the governor continued. “This constitutional amendment would override that.” FILE - Supporters of Issue 1, the Right to Reproductive Freedom amendment, attend a rally held by Ohioans United for Reproductive Rights at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 8, 2023. As campaigning escalates in Ohio's fall fight over abortion rights, a new line of attack from opponents suggests"partial-birth" abortions would be revived if a proposed constitutional amendment passes.
The ban was largely on hold while a constitutional challenge played out. The U.S. Supreme Court in 2007 rejected arguments against the law, upholding its application across all 50 states. Entin, of Case Western, said “to the extent that the Ohio laws he’s discussed are also covered by the federal law, it doesn’t matter,” because federally banned procedures would remain illegal.
“‘Partial-birth abortion’ is a made-up term that only serves to create confusion and stigmatize abortion later in pregnancy,” she said. “It’s not a procedure that’s described anywhere in medical literature, and so it’s not considered a medical term or even an actual medical procedure.”
