2025 legislative wrap-up from Jaime Miracle
Blog | December 18, 2025
Since you voted to legalize abortion in Ohio in 2023, abortion access has been increased in our state. Your success has anti-abortion politicians in Columbus fuming.
They have made it abundantly clear that they will never accept the Ohio Reproductive Freedom Amendment as law in our state. There is nothing too low or underhanded they won’t try to thwart our work.
Please find the below guide listing the more pressing legislative attacks we’re currently watching at the Ohio Statehouse. The General Assembly will return in January. We’ll have more info after the new year letting you know the best ways to get involved.
For abortion, forever,
Jaime Miracle (she/her)
Deputy Director

Anti-Abortion Bills Passed in 2025:
House Bill 96 – State Budget: Provides more than $25 million in funding to anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers, in addition to other anti-reproductive health provisions.
Anti-Abortion Bills pending:
House Bill 87 – Creates a pathway to fetal personhood by extending child tax credits to fetuses.
House Bill 324 – Limits the use of telemedicine for medication abortion care based on biased and debunked anti-abortion “research.”
House Bill 347 – Creates a new 24-hour waiting period and medical misinformation requirement for patients seeking abortion care. Current 24-hour waiting period is currently blocked by Ohio courts as unconstitutional.
House Bill 370 – A full fetal personhood bill that would completely outlaw abortion, without exceptions, and also outlaw IVF and some forms of birth control.
House Bill 410 – Mimicking the federal Planned Parenthood Medicaid ban, this bill would also ban PP from Medicaid in state law.
House Bill 485 – Would require all public-school students in grades 5-12 to watch an anti-abortion propaganda video with misinformation about fetal development.
Senate Bill 309 – Would require medical professionals to give misinformation about the potential side effects of Mifepristone (used for medication abortion care) and create additional liabilities for health care professionals who provide abortion care.
