Abortion

Abortion abolitionists say major groups in the anti-abortion movement aren't doing enough to ban the practice.

There already is confusion and controversy over ballot language for the reproductive rights amendment on the November ballot, and it is about to get even more confusing.

Supporters of Issue 1, which would guarantee abortion and reproductive rights in Ohio’s constitution, say the language Republicans approved for voters to read is biased and inaccurate.

The language veers from that used in the original proposed amendment that could enshrine abortion into Ohio's constitution.

The Ohio Ballot Board will meet Thursday to determine language voters will see on the ballot for two issues: one to enshrine abortion rights into the constitution, and the other to pass a law to legalize marijuana.

Political scientists weigh in on how having abortion rights and legal marijuana on the same statewide Ohio ballot this November might affect the outcome of both issues.

All of the justices rejected the lawsuit attempting to keep the abortion rights amendment off Ohio’s November ballot.

The rejection of the Republican-backed Issue 1 in Ohio, a state that's been solidly Republican for the last several election cycles, has raised questions about whether there’s a political shift starting toward Democrats, or if Republicans continue to maintain their firm hold.

Gov. Mike DeWine had suggested lawmakers come in before the November election to make changes to the law that's on hold by courts that bans abortion at the point fetal cardiac electronic activity can be detected, around six weeks into a pregnancy.

The fight over the proposed abortion rights amendment on the November ballot picks up now that Issue 1 has been decided.
