Ohio Bill Could Make Abortion A Felony Punishable By Death

Media Quotes Wrong Bill To Scaremonger About Ohio’s Heartbeat Legislation

The recent headlines are startling: “Ohio Republicans Proposing Death Penalty For Abortion,” says Refinery 29. “Ohio Politician Proposes Death Penalty for Women Who Have Abortions,” reads the The Sun, a British tabloid.

Fortunately, these headlines refer to a defunct Ohio bill that never made it out of committee and had few sponsors. The bill sent to debate when these headlines were created was HB 258 ... Not only does the statute not penalize women who choose the type of abortions that would be illegal under the new law, but it gives them recourse to sue the physician involved, should it be proven he performed an illegal abortion on the woman and her child.
