There is so much information about abortion in Ohio (and in Cincinnati), especially online. It’s extremely difficult to figure out what is real and what is not, and who to trust. Here are some facts and information so you can be empowered to make the best choice for you.
Abortion is legal in Ohio
Abortion is legal in Ohio for up to 21 weeks and six days or until the baby can live outside the womb. Prices for abortions are based on the local market in that region.
Requirements
Ohio law requires two appointments prior to an abortion: first, an in-person consultation and ultrasound to determine the gestational age of the baby. Patients were required to wait 24 hours before they return for the abortion but a temporary block, of the 24-hour waiting period for abortion in Ohio, was issued on August 23, 2024.
In Ohio, if you are under the age of 18, a parent or guardian must give you permission to have an abortion. Federal laws state that no one can legally force, pressure, or coerce you to have an abortion (even if you are under the age of 18) not a parent, guardian, boyfriend, or court.
Abortion Cost
The local area and region drive the market cost of an abortion. The price is also determined by how far along you are in the pregnancy and whether you have a chemical abortion (abortion pill) or an in-clinic abortion (surgical).
