❌ HB347
Enact SHE WINS Act
Summary
The SHE WINS Act amends existing laws and enacts new provisions regarding informed consent for abortions in Ohio. It requires physicians to provide specific information to pregnant women at least 24 hours before an abortion, including risks, alternatives, and support obligations of the unborn child's father. The Act also establishes civil actions for violations of these requirements and allows for confidentiality in related legal proceedings.
Rationale
The bill imposes additional regulations and requirements on abortion procedures, which conflicts with the Libertarian principles of self-ownership and individual rights over personal medical decisions. Both the LP and LPO platforms advocate for minimal government intervention in personal choices, particularly regarding health and reproductive rights.
Risks and Concerns
- Increases government control over personal medical decisions
- Potential for legal repercussions against healthcare providers
- May discourage women from seeking necessary medical care
