Reproductive rights, including abortion, continue to be hot topics in Ohio and in the country as a new lawsuit seeks to reverse state law related to abortion, the battle over the six-week abortion ban goes through the courts and the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to decide a case on abortion medication. Since the establishment of reproductive rights in the Ohio Constitution with the approval of Issue 1 in November, abortion rights supporters have pledged to undo regulations in the state that they say go against the newest constitutional amendment. Last week, the ACLU and the Planned Parenthood Federation of America announced a lawsuit to eliminate “several Ohio laws that together force abortion patients to wait a minimum of 24 hours after receiving unnecessary state-mandated information in person before they can access their desired abortion care,” according to a press release from the clinics represented in the suit.
