Ohio abortion clinics are still serving patients, with some as busy as ever, according to administrators. Nevertheless, they are still recovering from both the abortion ban that cut their services before court battles began, and the pandemic.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.
But almost as quickly as the six-week ban was put in place, lawsuits snarled the law in court battles. The law is still paused as a state court decides on its future, and as the Ohio Supreme Court decides whether to allow the pause to stay in place. “There is a lot of concern about what is legal and where it’s legal,” Scotece said of the questions AFO is fielding, among patient requests for services.
That program has been trying to emphasize the fact that Ohio has had judicial bypass, a legal method whereby a judge can allow a minor to have an abortion without parental consent, for years. While some lawyers weren’t comfortable or aware of the program, the program has been an option for some time.
“A big part of what we do is make sure that people realize how permeable abortion care is in our community,” Scotece said. “If you don’t think abortion care has happened to someone in your life, it’s probably because they haven’t talked to you about it.”
