Anti-abortion advocates in Ohio filed a lawsuit against Secretary of State Frank LaRose among others on Friday in an attempt to invalidate the proposed constitutional amendment on the ballot in November to enshrine abortion rights.
Filed three days after LaRose certified that the supporters of the amendment had garnered enough signatures to earn a spot in the November election, the lawsuit claims that the broad language of the amendment does not sufficiently articulate what existing state laws would need to be repealed upon its passage.Cincinnati attorney Curt Hartman filed the lawsuit on behalf of former GOP legislative candidate Jennifer Giroux and former state GOP Rep. Tom Brinkman.
"This ballot initiative in Ohio will wipe away every abortion law that protects babies and women in Ohio," Janet Morana of Priests for Life told Washington Examiner."It goes away automatically." Anti-abortion advocates have stressed in their campaign efforts that the amendment will eliminate parental consent statutes.
