Ohio Court Filings Detail Dozens of Patients Put Under 'Extreme Duress' by Abortion Ban
United States Latest News,United States Headlines

'We have had at least three patients threaten to commit suicide. Another patient said she would attempt to terminate her pregnancy by drinking bleach.'

Medical providers who are being represented in the case by the ACLU told the stories of at least two more minors who had become pregnant as a result of sexual assault and had to leave the state for care, two women who couldn't legally end their pregnancies and couldn't safely get chemotherapy for cancer due to their pregnancies, and three women whose pregnancies were not viable due to fetal health issues.

Three patients wanted to end their pregnancies due to"debilitating vomiting" that was affecting their health, their ability to go to work or school, or their ability to care for their children, and one patient described in an affidavit was unhoused and unable to leave Ohio to get an abortion—putting her in the position of being forced by the state to become a parent when she had nowhere to live. "The majority of patients I talk to say that they can't travel out of state to access abortion care," Allegra Pierce, a medical assistant at Preterm Cleveland, said in her affidavit."Even though many patients can access sources of funding for seeking an abortion, there are so many barriers that make traveling out of state inaccessible for many of our patients, including the cost of travel, child care responsibilities, and difficulty getting time off of work, just to name a few." Three of the patients threatened to hurt themselves, use dangerous methods to end their pregnancies on their own, or commit suicide when they learned they couldn't get abortion care—many of whom had believed they would still legally be able to have abortions after S.B. 23 went into effect because no cardiac activity had been detected during their initial ultrasounds prior to the Supreme Court decision in June. "We have had at least three patients threaten to commit suicide," said Liner."Another patient said she would attempt to terminate her pregnancy by drinking bleach. Another asked how much vitamin C she would need to take to terminate her pregnancy." The affidavits filed in the medical providers' case against Ohio Attorney General David Yost show how"over and over and over, workers in Ohio abortion clinics described women and girls absolutely losing it when they learned that they didn't have a kind of control over they lives that they thought they did,"
