COLUMBUS, Ohio (LifeSiteNews) — The Ohio State Supreme Court on Friday shot down a request for an emergency stay on the state’s ban on abortions after an unborn baby’s heartbeat can be detected. The decision allows the pro-life law to remain in effect while the Court reviews a lawsuit seeking to reverse it, The Cincinatti Enquirer reported.
The state’s life-saving law, which bans abortions after about six weeks gestation, is currently being challenged by Ohio abortion clinics. The Enquirer reported that the clinics assert that the Ohio Constitution protects a woman’s “right” to abortion, even if the U.S. Constitution, per the June 24 ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, does not.
