Led by pro-life Representatives Kristina Roegner, Cliff Rosenberger and Chairman Lynn Wachtmann, this legislative initiative embraces what Ohio Right to Life calls a "critical need to provide limited taxpayer dollars to health care centers that support low-income women and their children." Ref.

Officials in Ohio have closed a late-term abortion business that broke state law and put women's health at risk by not following state laws requiring abortion practitioners to have admitting privileges at a local hospital to help women who are injured by botched abortions.

That failure to obtain a transfer agreement, which has been an issue for years for the abortion facility in question, played a key role in shutting down the abortion clinic run by the abortion practitioner credited with making the partial-birth abortion procedure a household name. Ref. Source 5
