A county judge in Ohio temporarily blocked several state laws on Friday that combined to create a 24-hour waiting period for obtaining an abortion in the state, in the first court decision on the meri
ts of a 2023 constitutional amendment that guarantees access to the procedure. Republican Attorney General Dave Yost said he would appeal. Franklin County Common Pleas Judge David C. Young said the language of last year’s Issue 1 was “clear and unambiguous.
“It’s clear that the newly amended Ohio Constitution works as the voters intend: to protect the fundamental right to abortion and to forbid the state from infringing on it except when necessary to protect the health of a pregnant person.” Hill said the ACLU will push forward in an effort to make the temporary injunction permanent. Young rejected the state’s argument that the legal standard that existed before the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022 should have been applied.
