Abortion clinics have asked judge to block ban after amendment to state constitution was passed enshrining right to procedure
The Ohio supreme court has dismissed the state’s challenge to a judge’s order that has blocked enforcement of Ohio’s near ban on abortions for the past 14 months.
The ruling moves action in the case back to the Hamilton county common pleas court, where abortion clinics asked Judge Christian Jenkins this week to throw out the law following voters’ decision to approve enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution.
Yeah no shit. I’m genuinely amazed they had the guts to try that
The people that are trying to ban abortion are also part of the rise of fascism here in the US.
Fascists have no admiration or respect for democracy, only contempt. They see people who vote wrong as not really citizens anyway. If they had their way, the people that voted in favor of the ballot measure would be severaly punished for their vote, though opinions probably vary on what the punishment would be.
Some fascists might say to take away their voting privilege, while others would fail to see the irony in being comfortable having the state murder them for being pro-abortion.
You’d be amazed how many anti-abortion people are pro death penalty. Zero self-awareness and zero congruence.
If you’re surprised, you may not actively follow Ohio politics and the Republicans ignoring their own rules and the rule of law to get what they want.
Hey, oh, way to go Ohio!

(Amazes me that Limbaugh used that song as his opener for decades while promoting the policies that cause the shit that the song laments.)
That seems to be a Republican thing. Remember that whole Rage Against the Machine nonsense?
I’m not sure if it’s just total lack of self-awareness/thinking the stuff the song is about are good things for some reason, or if they just aren’t listening to the lyrics.
Ok yeah fair. They have gotten away with ignoring a gerrymandering ban, attempted to immediately overturn the marijuana legalization and have been trying to raise its tax and give it all to police who’d just blow it on tanks and training on how to hate citizens and get away with killing us.
Who cares what Ohioans want, it’s not like we get a say in who is in our legislature
How was the ban considered enforceable at all the moment the ballot measure passed? It’s the law, not a suggestion.
These fuckers, they were given a way out and they still didn’t take it. If you are some GOP politician there you can just shrug your shoulders and say “hey I tried but the voters disagreed”. You can save face.
