With new law, Ohio bans common abortion procedure

(CNN)A bill that would ban the most common abortion method used in the second trimester of pregnancy was signed into law Friday by Ohio Gov. John Kasich.

Senate Bill 145 prohibits the dilation and evacuation (D&E) procedure, in which the cervix is dilated and the contents of the uterus extracted. Though there is no exception in the law in cases of rape or incest, there is one if the mother's life is at risk.

Any abortion provider who defies this law could face fourth-degree felony charges, including prison time and fines.

The Republican governor's decision to sign off on this legislation sparked immediate backlash from abortion rights advocates.

Our government has no business in a woman's uterus.

End the insane, radical Republican tyranny.

And all of the good it could have done. But they would rather spend their money to control my wive's and my daughter's bodies.

And now they are spending the state of Ohio's money, because the coming legal battles over this will cost Ohio millions.

States that can need to start passing state constitutional amendments guaranteeing reproductive freedom. Maybe more states need to do these amendments as referendums. Because I think a majority of the people would be for them.

Kasich, who has signed more than 20 laws restricting abortion access in his eight years in office, has "again let the people of Ohio down by using extreme

legislation to turn medical decision-making into political ideology," said Iris Harvey, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio, in a written statement.
