AI Summary
This bill amends the Ohio Revised Code to enact the 2363 Act, which authorizes a private civil right of action against a person for performing or inducing an abortion, or engaging in conduct that aids or abets the performance or inducement of an abortion, in violation of the law. The bill defines key terms like "abortion" and "unborn child," and sets forth various provisions related to the enforcement of the new law, including awarding statutory damages, injunctive relief, and attorney's fees to successful plaintiffs. The bill also outlines certain affirmative defenses that defendants can raise, such as demonstrating that the relief sought would impose an "undue burden" on a woman's or group of women's ability to obtain an abortion.
