Good news, bad news in Ohio
Good news: A panel of the Court of Appeals in Ohio ruled to strike down the section of a state abortion law that would have given teen girls only one chance to seek a judicial bypass to obtain an abortion without parental consent. (Okay, so that’s only semi-good news since they still have to deal with parental consent laws, but I’m attempting to be optimistic today.)
Bad news: The same panel ruled to uphold the section of the state’s abortion law that requires women to receive “counseling” before obtaining an abortion. (As if a woman who has an unwanted pregnancy has actually though about anything but what her options are.)
