Abortion

Some think a lawsuit filed last week, asking the Ohio Supreme Court to take action, could stop the current petitions from being accepted.

Ohio lawmakers likely won't be able to do what they did when a marijuana legalization amendment was on the ballot in 2015

The sponsor of the resolution to require 60% voter approval to amend Ohio's constitution was met with dozens of citizens concerned and upset about the proposal and its timing.

The lawsuit seeks to halt the reproductive rights issue by asking the Ohio Supreme Court to order it to be broken into two or more parts.

Groups trying to put abortion rights into Ohio’s constitution held small events to gather signatures, and said they showed support for the proposal.

Opponents of Ohio’s proposed reproductive rights amendment are waging a $5 million campaign in the next four weeks.

Organizations that oppose abortion are spending $5 million on ads in the coming weeks.

Now that it's been certified as a single issue, supporters of reproductive rights will need nearly 414,000 valid signatures to put it before Ohio voters in the fall.

Next move will be for the Ohio Ballot Board to weigh in on it.

Political scientists, attorneys and advocates on both sides of the issue talk about how an abortion guaranteeing access to abortion, fertility treatments and other reproductive services might be applied in Ohio.
