An Ohio law banning virtually all abortions will remain blocked while a state constitutional challenge proceeds, a judge said Friday. The ruling will allow pregnancy terminations through 20 weeks' gestation to continue for now.
An Ohio law banning virtually all abortions will remain blocked while a state constitutional challenge proceeds, a judge said Friday. The ruling will allow pregnancy terminations through 20 weeks' gestation to continue for now.
"This court has no difficulty holding that the Ohio Constitution confers a fundamental right on all of Ohioans to privacy, procreation, bodily integrity and freedom of choice in health care decision-making that encompasses the right to abortion," he said. "The abortion clinics literally forum shopped to get the outcome they wanted. This is a moment in time for the pro-life movement and we are convinced that the Ohio Supreme Court will overturn this ruling," Gonidakis said in a statement."Nowhere in Ohio's Constitution does a right to an abortion exist."
The state's attorneys brought witness Dr. Dennis Sullivan, a bioethics expert from Cedarville University, a private Baptist institution, who testified that human life begins at conception and that's"scientifically not open to debate." "My question is what allows you uniquely, or someone else uniquely, to make that judgment any better than the individual whose rights we are being asked to limit, whose autonomy we are being asked to take away?" Jenkins asked.
