heartbeat bill

Gov. Mike DeWine says the current law, which bans abortion at the point fetal electronic cardiac activity is present, is out of step with many voters.

The Ohio Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to review a county judge’s order that is blocking enforcement of the state's near-ban on abortions.

Reaction is strong on both sides of the abortion issue after a Hamilton County Judge issued a 14-day stay in the state’s so-called "Heartbeat" Law.

The Ohio Supreme Court has rejected the request to put the state's newly imposed abortion ban on hold until the court hears arguments in the lawsuit filed challenging the state's "heartbeat" law.

The ACLU of Ohio has joined the abortion providing clinics in Ohio to block the state's new abortion ban which be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy.

Attorney General Dave Yost asked for the hold on the law to be lifted immediately since the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health says there's no constitutional right to abortion.
