Ohio's contentious battle over reproductive rights and the controversy surrounding 'partial-birth abortions'
Ohio is currently engaged in a heated debate over reproductive rights, with the term "partial-birth abortion" taking center stage. Opponents of a constitutional amendment vote scheduled for November 7 are expressing concerns about the amendment's implications, using the term to argue against it. However, it is important to clarify that "partial-birth abortion" is a colloquial term for a medical procedure known as dilation and extraction (D&X), which is already banned in the United States.
This procedure is banned in the US. Why is it a hot topic in fight over Ohio's abortion amendment?
Anti-abortion groups in Ohio are using the term "partial-birth abortion" in their messaging against a reproductive rights measure, despite the procedure being federally prohibited for over 15 years. The opposition campaign claims that the constitutional amendment would allow "partial-birth abortions," but constitutional scholars argue that it would not override the existing federal ban. Ohio is the only state voting on abortion legality this November, but the issue will continue to be a central topic in future races in several states.
