Court upholds Ohio law criminalizing physician participation in abortions based on Down syndrome | Bricker & Eckler LLP

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog: A federal appeals court issued a decision on April 13, 2021, upholding an Ohio law that prohibits providers from performing abortions based on a fetal diagnosis of Down syndrome, or on the possibility of a diagnosis. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals narrowly ruled to reverse earlier decisions blocking enforcement of the law in a  nine-to-seven decision, holding that the Ohio law did not “create a substantial obstacle to a woman’s ability to choose or obtain an abortion.” The law, which was passed by the Ohio legislature in 2017, imposes criminal penalties on physicians who perform abortions when they are aware that a patient is seeking the abortion “in whole or in part” because of a diagnosis or belief that the fetus has Down syndrome. Physicians who violate the law face a fourth degree felony and potential civil liability, including attorney fees. Penalties for fourth degree felonies include six to 18 months
