On Wednesday, February 1, 2006, in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument in Cincinnati Women’s Service v. Voinovich. This case centers on a 1998 law signed by former Ohio Governor George Voinovich that requires women to meet face-to-face with a doctor to discuss the procedure, risks and alternatives to abortion. The law also requires that women under 18 seeking an abortion must get consent from a parent unless she can prove in juvenile court that she is mature enough to make a decision on abortion. The ruling by a U.S. District Judge that the law is constitutional was appealed.
