'I'll end this if you can't help me': Abortion providers share stories of Ohioans who no longer...

Ohio's new six-week abortion ban is in place but Ohioans who want abortions still have options to get connected to those services.

Dr. Adarsh Krishen, the chief medical officer for Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio, said staff at those facilities had to call patients scheduled for abortions — in the days following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade — to cancel those procedures.

Within hours of the high court's action, a federal court that had put Ohio's six-week abortion ban on hold, allowed it to go into effect.

That ban, also known as the "heartbeat bill," prohibits abortion at the point fetal cardiac activity can be detected. That's around six weeks into a pregnancy, before many women even know they are pregnant. Since that time, Krishen said staff at Planned Parenthoods in Ohio have been helping patients in different ways.
