SEE ALSO: Why 'Handmaid's Tale' costumes are the most powerful meme of the resistance yetAt a Tuesday morning hearing in Ohio, legislators met to consider passing Senate Bill 145 — an amended version of an existing bill, which, if passed, would essentially criminalize abortion. Senate Bill 145 would ban the dilation and evacuation procedure, a common method used during most second trimester abortions between 13 and 24 weeks and occasionally after miscarriages.
The Ohio legislators were joined by female protestors in costumes referencing the 1985 Margaret Atwood novel, who silently took a front row seat to observe the decision.
In the novel, Atwood depicts a world where women lose their bodily autonomy, and are forced to bear children of a ruling elite.
The bill remains shrouded in controversy, especially after Ohio governor, John Kasich, vetoed an anti-abortion law back in December that would have prevented the procedures from taking place any time after a fetus' heartbeat was detected. Kasich made the decision to veto the law because he believed it would be found unconstitutional.

The modern-day Handmaids have been spotted everywhere from South By Southwest to state capitols across the country, raising their fists in a sign of solidarity with women everywhere.
