Abortion in Ohio

Abortion in Ohio is legal on request up to the point of fetal viability (roughly 23 weeks) as a result of abortion rights being placed into the Ohio State Constitution by November 2023 Ohio Issue 1, adopted by 56% of voters.[1]

Planned Parenthood and the ACLU are advocating in court to have other pre-amendment restrictions nullified, such as a 24-hour waiting period, laws prohibiting advanced practice nurses and similar healthcare providers from prescribing abortion medications, and a law prohibiting the prescription of mifepristone (which is commonly used for medication abortion) for any off-label use.[2]
