The New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights says that’s the safest and most common way of terminating a second-trimester pregnancy. About 3,000 D&E abortions were performed in Ohio in 2015.
The director of Ohio Right to Life, the state’s largest anti-abortion group, says the bill is aimed at “shining a light on the brutality” of a common procedure.
Abortion-rights group NARAL Pro-Choice Ohio says it’s part of a national strategy to restrict women’s access to safe, legal abortions.
