In recent years, there has been a government crackdown on abortion laws. Abortion has been a fiercely debated topic now for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in the 18-century abortion was legal and safely practiced across the United States until around 1880.<\/a> Once abortions became criminalized in the United States, people took to the streets in protest and many women began finding their own ways to get an abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, many times street abortions were extremely dangerous, causing women to have severe health issues or to die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abortion remained illegal until 1973 when the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade that women have a constitutional right to have an abortion without excessive government interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the summer of 2019, the Ohio legislature passed a law called the Heartbeat Bill, which would have limited abortions to the first six weeks of pregnancy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bill was quickly vetoed by the Supreme Court and is not currently in effect. While women can still receive a safe, legal abortion in the state of Ohio, certain laws trying to deter women from receiving one are still in play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in April, a federal court ruled that Ohio can enforce a 2017 law banning abortions when medical tests show that a fetus has Down’s Syndrome. Last year Ohio passed a bill that states you must cremate or bury the fetus after aborting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The war on abortion is sure to rage on while rules and regulations are becoming stricter, and members from either side of the aisle are becoming more and more polarized. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro-life supporters argue that it is unethical to receive an abortion and it is the same thing as killing a human baby. On the other hand, pro-choice supporters simply believe it is a woman\u2019s right to decide if she carries a pregnancy to term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
