Ohio Gov. John Kasich has signed into law a measure that bans dismemberment abortions in the state. Breitbart reports Kasich’s signature on the measure makes this the twenty-first pro-life initiative to become law in Ohio in the last eight years.

Abortionists who perform dismemberment abortions, which are commonly done in the second-trimester, could face fourth-degree felony charges, including a jail sentence and fines.

Ohio Right to Life said in a statement initiatives such as this “have led to abortions decreasing by more than 25% in Ohio, and half of Ohio’s abortion clinics shutting down.”

The new law provides an exception for cases in which the mother’s life is at risk.
