The attorney general's office in Ohio has ordered all of the state's abortion providers stop offering the procedure, saying it falls under the category of "non-essential and elective surgery."
There are six clinics in Ohio that provide surgical abortions, and five of them have pushed back, saying that their services are not only essential, but also time-sensitive.
Because of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, there are shortages of personal protective equipment, like masks. The Ohio Department of Health on Wednesday said "non-essential and elective surgeries" would temporarily be suspended so health care workers dealing with COVID-19 cases would have proper gear. There was no mention of abortion, CBS News reports, but the Ohio attorney general's office mailed out letters to clinics saying they had to "immediately stop performing non-essential and elective surgical abortions."
In a statement to CBS News, Iris Harvey of Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio and Kersha Deibel of Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region said their "top priority is ensuring that every person can continue accessing essential health care, including abortion. We know your health care can't wait. Abortion is an essential, time-sensitive medical procedure."

Can’t see my dentist to get a tooth filled but I can get an abortion. Go figure.
Lighten up...
Leftists are not required to follow laws & regulations, have morals or ethics.
You close our gun shops, we close your baby shredders.
Send in the sheriff about 4am, change all the locks on the doors, then post deputies with a paddy wagon to await the employees morning arrivals.
They can turn around and go home, or they can go in the paddy wagon.
I object.
My Mouth, My Tooth.
Well...isn’t that special. *eye roll*
I still have my root-canal fix (last word there the operative) set for next week. Wondering if they will keep it.
But yeah, maybe I can get an abortion instead.
condemn property as public health hazard... and then, bulldozers
Arrest every F***ing one of Them
Let’s see what the sanctimonious Dewine does about this. He has threatens most Ohioans about not heeding his “suggestions” sic orders as of this evening. If he doesn’t enforce this then every Ohio business should as they see fit.
In normal times, every successful ‘procedure’ results in one human’s death. Now, the death rate might climb to about 1.25/procedure.
Tell them you want to abort the tooth pulp, it’s just a clump of cells.
Shut them down permanently, jail everyone working there, eminent domain the buildings.
They dont bother changing the locks.
They install their own serious locks on the door and the frame. Like booting the door.
I also would not give the people coming into work the option of leaving. Take their damn phones and lock their asses up as long as the virus is in the headlines.
Democrats: save people from the virus; murder children in the womb (and now outside).
Put on a hoody, walk in the front door, cough several times, yell that you have the coronavirus, and leave! Post video on the web. Case “closed”!!
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
Ohio abortion clinics say they will still offer services, despite order from state attorney general
