Senate Bill 145 prohibits the dilation and evacuation (D&E) procedure, in which the cervix is dilated and the contents of the uterus extracted. Though there is no exception in the law in cases of rape or incest, there is one if the mother's life is at risk.
Any abortion provider who defies this law could face fourth-degree felony charges, including prison time and fines.
The Republican governor's decision to sign off on this legislation sparked immediate backlash from abortion rights advocates.

And now they are spending the state of Ohio's money, because the coming legal battles over this will cost Ohio millions.
States that can need to start passing state constitutional amendments guaranteeing reproductive freedom. Maybe more states need to do these amendments as referendums. Because I think a majority of the people would be for them.
