6th Circuit Considers Ohio’s ban on Abortions due to Down Syndrome

Ohio law prohibits abortion when the pregnant woman is seeking an abortion due to a fetal diagnosis of Down Syndrome. Ohio’s law was enjoined by a federal district court judge in March 2018. The case is now an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The appellate court heard oral arguments on January 30, 2019.  It seems likely that the court will affirm the lower court’s ruling.

Indiana has a similar statute that was struck down by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit and that case is now pending before the US Supreme Court. The US Supreme Court will likely decide whether to hear the Indiana case in mid or late February.
