Abortion

A new Republican bill would require Ohio public schools to show videos depicting human prenatal development from embryo to to students every year from third grade until graduation.

Republican lawmakers sponsoring this new 24-hour wait for abortion in Ohio said it's different than the law that's currently in the courts.

A Hamilton County Court passed down the ruling on which medical professionals can dispense mifepristone and misoprostol.

It's a "personhood" bill similar to others that have been introduced in the past in Ohio and other states.

The requirements call for a dashboard that will give immediate information about abortions being performed in Ohio.

Ohio Right to Life filed a complaint with the Ohio Department of Health last month over HeyJane.com.

The website, HeyJane.com, allows patients to access abortion-inducing drugs without an in-person visit with an Ohio doctor.

A Hamilton County Court of Common Pleas judge permanently blocked the law in the ruling Friday morning.

The Democratic sponsors of the bill say since the Ohio Legislature has passed many bills to regulate women's reproductive rights, it's only fair to regulate the reproductive freedom of men.

Backers of the bill say some big Ohio cities are giving money to charities in big cities that assist low-income women with reproductive health issues.
