(ONN) – The Ohio GOP has introduced a bill aiming to add new requirements for abortion access in the state – challenging a constitutional amendment protecting abortion rights.

Cleveland.com is reporting that House Bill 347 would require a 24-hour waiting period before abortions and mandate that doctors give detailed information about the procedure, risks, and other options like adoption.

The bill would only apply to elective abortions.

The bill’s introduction comes after Ohio voters approved an amendment to the state’s constitution protecting abortion rights.
