I think it’s pretty obvious imo. They wrote an ambiguous law. The doctor doesn’t want to be put in legal jeopardy. It is a lot easier to refer them to a different state where it isn’t an issue. One last thought, why do you think a 10 year old would be put in medical jeopardy because of a pregnancies? You really think that the legislator would allow doctors to make such decisions? Imagine a doctor who said every pregnancy threatens a woman’s life and thus all pregnancies could be legal.

Your opinion here may be correct but it would be helpful to know why?

The law isn't vague. A physician is the final decision maker and would be able to document medical necessity.

Under this law any physician trying to abuse the exceptions provided would probably loose licensure.

To me the only vague part of the stupid law is trying to quantify the six weeks that one could know when a patient is 3 or 6 days beyond the limit with LEGAL precision.

Of course in a few months abortion will likely be illegal in both Ohio and Indiana.
