A US appellate court decision upholding an Ohio law that prohibits abortions because of fetal Down syndrome evades major Supreme Court precedent and is certain to reverberate in cases nationwide

The decision by a 9-7 vote implicitly challenges Supreme Court decisions dating to 1973 that protect the abortion choice in the early weeks of a pregnancy and could open up a new front in the enduring battle over a woman's constitutional right to end a pregnancy.

Anthony List, praised the ruling in a statement:"This law includes reasonable, compassionate measures to prevent lethal discrimination in the womb. We also recognize and celebrate that this legislation has the potential to pose a significant challenge to Roe v. Wade.

Appeals Court Upholds Ohio Down Syndrome Abortion LawOn Tuesday, a federal appeals court upheld an Ohio law that bans doctors from performing abortions based on a fetal diagnosis of Down syndrome. The ruling, which divided the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, reversed two earlier decisions that blocked the enforcement of the controversial 2017 legislation. Doctors who perform the procedure on a patient who they know is seeking an abortion due to a Down syndrome diagnosis could face a fourth-degree felony charge, lose their medical license, and be held liable for legal damages.\n How much funding will the the parents get for the special care the child will need? Since they are being forced to keep the baby they should have to financially support them until the day the person dies. You know the “living” human you are all so eager to help and all 🙄
