Ohio’s 24 Hour Informed Consent Law requires that women receive certain information at least 24 hours before an abortion in a face to face meeting with a physician. We will provide this information during your Pre-Abortion Visit.
The physician must explain the following:
• The probable gestational age (length of pregnancy in weeks)
• The nature and purpose of the abortion
• The medical risks of the abortion procedure
• The risks of the abortion compared to the risks of continuing the pregnancy and delivering a baby
The Doctors office must also provide the following information at least 24 hours before each abortion
• The name of the physician scheduled to perform the abortion
