"Ohio AG Dave Yost Provides Clarity on Abortion and Marijuana Ballot Issues"

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost has issued legal analyses on two high-profile ballot measures in November: State Issue 1, which would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution, and State Issue 2, which would legalize recreational marijuana for adults. This move is considered unprecedented, as the AG's office typically does not offer such analyses. Yost claims that there is a lot of confusion among the public regarding these measures and wants to provide clarity. However, critics argue that Yost is using his office to influence the outcome. The analyses provide an overview of the legal impact of each measure, with the abortion analysis leaning towards opposition and the marijuana analysis being more neutral.

Ohio Supreme Court to Hear Appeal on 'Heartbeat' Abortion Ban.

The Ohio Supreme Court has accepted an appeal by Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost in a case involving the state's six-week abortion ban. The court will only look at two of three legal questions that Yost asked the court to review: Whether he has the right to appeal a lower court's order putting the embryonic heartbeat law on hold and whether the abortion clinics have "standing" or the right to challenge the law in the first place. The court declined to look at the third question - whether the Ohio Constitution creates the right to an abortion.
