On Tuesday, #Ohio Republican lawmakers introduced an even stricter abortion ban than Texas'—Ohio's House Bill 480 would ban all abortions.
The Bill copies Texas' ban in that it gives the green light to a form of vigilantism; allowing any person to file lawsuits against reproductive health centers, and any aiders and abettors, with a bounty reward of $10,000 or more if the person's lawsuit is successful.
Since 1973 in the United States, all abortions have been legal up until a fetus’ viability outside the womb, or 3rd trimester. However right now, more than half the state legislatures are on a crusade to repeal and criminalize the right to choose.
On Monday, the legality of the Texas ban was heard in the U.S. Supreme Court. It is unclear when a decision will be made.
The Supreme Court will also consider the question as to whether all pre-viability prohibitions on abortion are unconstitutional in a Dec. 1, 2021 hearing, stemming from a Mississippi 6-week abortion ban that got shot down by a federal district court and by the Fifth Circuit.
