- Four years on from Dobbs, Ohio has abortion protection, but threats still remain
Sarah Hanline, an Ohio resident, sought an abortion after doctors confirmed her pregnancy was non-viable due to severe fetal defects. Despite Ohio's constitutional amendment allowing abortion until viability (22 weeks and six days), she faced a two-week wait for induction due to legal uncertainties. She ultimately received the procedure at 22 weeks and six days in Cincinnati after nearby clinics were full.
