Ohio abortion ban struck down by judge who cites voter-approved reproductive rights amendment
Briefly

Jenkins stated that Ohio's Attorney General's request to maintain parts of the heartbeat law post-amendment "dispels the myth" that states gained full power over abortion issues after Roe v. Wade's overturning.
Jenkins emphasized that despite voter-approved rights, the Ohio government appears to "diminish and limit" these protections, opposing the constitutional amendment's aim.
The ruling signifies the implementation of Ohio's Reproductive Freedom Amendment, asserting that it empowers citizens against restrictive abortion laws.
The ACLU and Planned Parenthood's lawsuit, which led to this ruling, marks significant litigation opposing the heartbeat law, promoting abortion rights in Ohio.
