Abortion In Ohio
Abortion in Ohio is legal in some cases. A person who intends to perform or induce an abortion on a pregnant woman shall determine whether the fetus has a detectable heartbeat. A fetal heartbeat can be detected by a medical professional in as few as six weeks after conception, but is more typically detected between 10 to 12 weeks after conception. Since 2021, abortions in the city of Lebanon, Ohio have been outlawed at all stages of pregnancy by a local ordinance. Mason, Ohio, also banned abortion at all stages in 2021, but its ordinance doing so was repealed later that year. On April 11, 2019, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine signed the ''Human Rights and Heartbeat Protection Act'', which bans abortion in Ohio after any embryonic cardiac activity is detected. On June 24, 2022, after the Supreme Court of the United States overturned ''Roe v. Wade'', judge Michael R. Barrett lifted a preliminary injunction that had blocked state officials from enforcing the law against certain abortion ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Six-week Abortion Ban
A six-week abortion ban or early abortion ban, called a "heartbeat bill" or "fetal heartbeat bill" by proponents, is a form of abortion restriction legislation in the United States. These bans make abortion illegal as early as six weeks gestational age (two or three weeks into a pregnancy), which is when proponents claim that a "fetal heartbeat" can be detected. Medical and reproductive health experts, including the American Medical Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, say that the reference to a fetal heartbeat is medically inaccurate and intentionally misleading because a conceptus is not called a fetus until after ten weeks of pregnancy, before which the proper term is an embryo, as well as that at six weeks the embryo has no heart, which at that stage is only a group of cells which will become a heart. Medical professionals advise that a true fetal heartbeat cannot be detected until around 17 to 20 weeks of gestation when the chambers o ...

Ectopic Pregnancy
Ectopic pregnancy is a complication of pregnancy in which the embryo attaches outside the uterus. Signs and symptoms classically include abdominal pain and vaginal bleeding, but fewer than 50 percent of affected women have both of these symptoms. The pain may be described as sharp, dull, or crampy. Pain may also spread to the shoulder if bleeding into the abdomen has occurred. Severe bleeding may result in a fast heart rate, fainting, or shock. With very rare exceptions the fetus is unable to survive. Overall, ectopic pregnancies are very rare, annually affecting less than 2% of pregnancies worldwide. Risk factors for ectopic pregnancy include pelvic inflammatory disease, often due to chlamydia infection; tobacco smoking; prior tubal surgery; a history of infertility; and the use of assisted reproductive technology. Those who have previously had an ectopic pregnancy are at much higher risk of having another one. Most ectopic pregnancies (90%) occur in the fallopian tube, whic ...
