The American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of Ohio, and Planned Parenthood filed a lawsuit in June of 2019 challenging an Ohio law banning abortion as early as six weeks into pregnancy. This law would effectively eliminate abortion access in the state and impose an unconstitutional ban on abortion. In July of 2019, we successfully obtained a preliminary injunction, blocking this law from taking effect. Our request for permanent relief is currently pending before the court. The law remains enjoined while the court considers this request.
