Ohio Republicans are defying voters' wishes to reinstate a 24-hour waiting period for abortion, a requirement that a judge had already been ruled out last year due to a violation of the state constitution. The bill would also require doctors to inform patients that medication abortions might be reversible, a claim that major medical organizations argue has no scientific basis. The Today in Ohio podcast hosts questioned why the Ohio House, led by Speaker Matt Huffman, is moving forward with new abortion restrictions. The host Leila Atassi suggested that this strategy is to erode constitutionally protected rights piece by piece rather than outright ban on abortion. The legal challenges are all but certain, but the outcome of this case is uncertain.
