CLEVELAND, Ohio — Protestors will gather in Public Square on Tuesday to rally against the “heartbeat” abortion ban signed by Gov. Mike DeWine in April. The protest is part of the #StoptheBans movement, a nationwide day of rallies advocating against efforts to undo Roe v. Wade.
The Ohio law — which prohibits abortion after 6 weeks, before many women know they are pregnant — is being challenged by the ACLU and others. The law has no exceptions for rape or incest. Abortion rights opponents hope the legal challenge to the law triggers a U.S. Supreme Court battle that overturns Roe v. Wade.
Ohio is not alone in its ban. Governors in states including Arkansas, North Dakota, Iowa, Kentucky and Mississippi have signed bills similar to Ohio’s abortion ban. Georgia’s governor this month also signed a “heartbeat" bill, according to Vox.com.
Alabama’s governor on Wednesday signed a law that bans abortion outright, unless when necessarily to prevent serious health problems for the woman, with no exception for rape or incest, according to al.com.
The protest is set for 5 p.m. at Public Square, and is being organized by NARAL Pro Choice Ohio, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio and Cleveland State University students.
