Ohio Republicans Push to Strip Judges of Abortion Rights Interpretation

Four Ohio Republican state lawmakers are seeking to remove judges' power to interpret an abortion rights amendment recently enshrined in the state's constitution. The lawmakers argue that the Ohio legislature, not the courts, should make decisions regarding the amendment. This move comes after voters passed the amendment by a margin of 57% to 43%. Abortion rights advocates plan to challenge existing abortion bans and restrictions in Ohio, while the state supreme court, which has a conservative majority, may have the final say on these issues.
