Ohio is the latest flashpoint in the nation’s ongoing battle over abortion access since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a constitutional right to the procedure last year.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio became the latest flashpoint Tuesday in the nation’s battle over abortion access since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a constitutional right to the procedure last year. Voters are deciding whether to pass a constitutional amendment guaranteeing an individual right to abortion and other forms of reproductive healthcare.
It still allows the state to regulate the procedure after fetal viability, as long as exceptions are provided for cases in which a doctor determines the “life or health” of the woman is at risk. Viability is defined as the point when the fetus has “a significant likelihood of survival” outside the womb with reasonable interventions. Anti-abortion groups have argued the amendment’s wording is overly broad, advancing a host of untested legal theories about its impacts.
