relative to the rights of conscience for medical professionals.
Veto Sustained 08/19/2026: RC 166-154 Lacking Necessary Two-Thirds Vote HJ 16 P. 10
Summary
The measure creates a new state chapter that gives doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other health‑care workers the right to decline any involvement in abortions based on religious, moral or ethical beliefs. It also requires hospitals and clinics to post a notice about this right and sets civil penalties for anyone who discriminates against a provider for objecting. The bill was vetoed in August 2026, so it is not law.
