Lawsuit asks Ohio Supreme Court to toss abortion access amendment off November ballot
(July 31, 2023)
A lawsuit asks the Ohio Supreme Court to block the proposed reproductive and abortion rights amendment that’s been certified to appear on the ballot in November.

The lawsuit, filed by Cincinnati attorney Curt Hartman on behalf of two Republicans on Friday, asks the court to bar the amendment from the ballot because it doesn’t specifically list state laws that would be changed if it is passed.

The lawsuit claims those laws include the six-week abortion ban that took effect briefly last summer before litigation put it on hold, along with the ban on abortion after a diagnosis of Down syndrome and the law requiring parental consent for abortions for minors.

They'll probably lose, but it's a reminder to keep an eye on the anti-abortion extremists.
