Far too often, it is easy to feel despondent about the plague on this nation that is abortion. For every measure gained to protect the preborn and women from this culture, be it Texas suing Chemical Abortion Pill providers or West Virginia banning mifepristone outright, there always seems to be two steps back. Leftist law groups form to protect “Shield Laws” (and by extension, criminals) or California allows abortionists to mail Chemical Abortion Pills, even out of state, anonymously, into pro-life states.
We cannot let this happen—our very nation’s soul is in the balance. So, what can pro-life states do to push back against this insidious, secessionist abortion agenda determined to tear away at the fabric of our Union? They can be creative.
For this, we turn to Ohio.
Even though Ohio is politically, as of late, a “Red state,” they enshrined abortion protection in their Constitution. That does not mean that it should deter anyone for fighting for Life and mothers, the abortion lobby is very powerful after all. Two bills currently before Ohio House committees aim to tighten oversight of Chemical Abortion Pills, as well as end the indirect funding of abortion services.
House Bill 324 proposes that Chemical Abortion Pills can only be prescribed by a licensed physician and must be dispensed directly to the patient in a clinical setting. Telehealth prescriptions would be prohibited, cracking down on trafficking. Providers would need to report adverse events to the state for any pill that has 5% of “severe adverse effects.”
One study found that 10.93% of the 865,727 women prescribed Chemical Abortion Pills with Mifepristone experienced a serious adverse event, such as sepsis or hemorrhaging, within 45 days of taking it. This rate is substantially higher—about twenty-two times greater—than the less than 0.5% serious event rate currently listed on the FDA label for mifepristone and misoprostol. This bill would make sure that the lives of women can be protected—that will be hard for the so-called feminists to oppose.
In addition, the bill mandates that physicians offer patients information about the possibility of “reversing” the effects of the first Chemical Abortion Pill, making it possible to save a preborn life and a mother’s heartbreak.
The second bill, House Bill 410, makes sure abortion vendors no longer get incentives or kickbacks, making Ohio prioritize Life first, by making sure the state invests in Pregnancy Help Centers (PHCs), allocating funds from the state budget to centers that actually want to help the woman and child, instead of an abortion vendor profiting off the child’s death and mother’s broken psyche. This makes sure Ohioans who stood against the State Constitutional measure do not have their conscience violated or their tax dollars betray them.
Ohio lawmakers that are standing up for Life are turning the Gen-Z phrase “That’s so Ohio” into a good thing by fighting back with creativity and originality. More states that believe in the Union need to push back against an abortionist culture determined to eat away at the nation’s conscience.
If the states are laboratories of Democracy, they must be labs that protect Life and Liberty, allowing a democracy to function and be formed in the first place.
