Ohio doctors push back against 24-hour abortion waiting period proposal
Ohio doctors oppose a proposed 24-hour waiting period for abortion procedures, arguing it creates unnecessary barriers and discriminates against patients seeking abortion care. The bill, H.B. 347, requires physicians to meet with patients 24 hours before an abortion but faces criticism for conflicting with a 2023 Ohio constitutional amendment protecting abortion rights.
