Enact the Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act

Introduced·6/18/25
Introduced Text

Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act aims to protect preborn children with equal criminal and civil laws.

The Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act seeks to acknowledge the sanctity of human life from conception, aligning the legal protections for preborn children with those for born persons. It repeals provisions permitting prenatal homicide or assault, protects pregnant mothers from being pressured to abort, and ensures due process for all potentially subject to these laws. The act also defines "person" to include a living human child before birth from the moment of fertilization.
