Planned Parenthood, ACLU Sue Ohio Over Abortion Restrictions

The lawsuit challenges laws deemed unconstitutional after Ohioans voted to protect abortion rights.

Planned Parenthood and the ACLU filed a lawsuit challenging Ohio's abortion restrictions, arguing they violate the state's newly amended constitution.
The lawsuit targets laws requiring a 24-hour waiting period and multiple informational sessions before an abortion can proceed.
Ohio voters recently enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution, making it one of four states to do so since Roe v. Wade was overturned.
The challenged restrictions are criticized for lacking medical justification and unnecessarily delaying care.
Ohio Right to Life defends the restrictions as necessary for women's health, while opponents argue they disregard women's health standards for a political agenda.
