New polling shows that 59.1% of Ohio registered voters would support a constitutional amendment to make abortion a fundamental right in the state.
, a federal judge allowed a 2019 Ohio law to go into effect that prohibited abortion as soon as fetal cardiac activity is detected, around six weeks, or before many women know they’re pregnant. But the so-called “heartbeat” ban was in effect for only about two months.
The Republican-controlled Ohio General Assembly is expected to outlaw abortion in almost all instances when they return to Columbus after the Nov. 8 election. It’s unknown whether there will be exceptions for rape or incest or for young girls who are sexually assaulted. Many abortion laws, including the heartbeat ban, only had exceptions to protect the mother’s life and health.-Just 27.1% of Ohio voters believed abortion should always be permitted; 30.
-82% of respondents thought abortion should be permitted when a minor’s pregnancy was caused by rape; 10.6% did not.
