Ohio Abortion Clinics Seek Permanent Block on Abortion Ban Following Constitutional Amendment
Abortion clinics in Ohio are urging a court to strike down abortion restrictions following the passage of a constitutional amendment that enshrines abortion rights in the state's Constitution. The clinics argue that even the state's Republican attorney general acknowledges that the amendment invalidates the ban. The amendment, which ensures access to abortion and reproductive healthcare, took effect last week. The clinics are requesting the lower court to permanently strike down the ban, stating that it violates fundamental rights guaranteed by the Ohio Constitution.
