UPDATE, 7\/1\/22:<\/strong>\u00a0A July 1 email from the Center for Christian Virtue stated that “a group of abortion clinics represented by the ACLU” (which included Planned Parenthood) had attempted to “halt [Ohio’s]\u00a0Heartbeat Bill and enshrine a constitutional ‘right to abortion,'” but the state’s Supreme Court rejected this attempt.<\/p>\n

6\/25\/22:<\/strong> On Friday, June 24, on the heels of the Supreme Court\u2019s decision in <\/span>Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization<\/span><\/i>, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost <\/span>shared<\/span><\/a> via Twitter that he had filed an emergency motion to dissolve the injunction against the enforcement of that state\u2019s heartbeat law. The law, which was signed by Governor Mike DeWine in April of 2019, bans abortion after a preborn child’s heartbeat can be detected, which is normally possible at around six weeks\u2019 gestation. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to an email from the Center for Christian Virtue (CCV), U.S. District Judge Michael Barrett acted quickly in response to the emergency motion, and has dissolved the injunction against the law.\u00a0<\/span>\u201cIn Ohio, we believe that with God, all things are possible. Today, it\u2019s been proven true once again as we see abortion banned in Ohio at the point a heartbeat is detected!” wrote the CCV.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Dobbs, abortion laws are subject to the same standard as any other law: rational\u00a0<\/span>basis review,\u201d stated Attorney General Yost\u2019s motion. It continued:<\/span><\/p>\n

And the law here satisfies that easy-to-meet standard for the same reason as the Mississippi law at issue in <\/span>Dobbs<\/span>: it rationally promotes the State’s legitimate interest in \u2018protecting the life of the unborn.\u2019 The ruling in <\/span>Dobbs<\/span> represents a substantial change in the law, and abrogates the prior legal basis supporting this Court’s Order enjoining enforcement of the challenged law.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

The motion requested an immediate dissolution of the injunction against Ohio\u2019s Heartbeat Law, stating that there was \u201cno just reason for delay\u201d and that \u201cthe State of Ohio\u00a0<\/span>will be irreparably harmed by any delay whatsoever[.]\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In July of 2019, Judge Barrett imposed the initial <\/span>injunction<\/span><\/a> against enforcement of the law, claiming that a suit filed by abortion businesses in opposition to the law was \u201ccertain to succeed on the merits of [the abortionists\u2019] claim that [the bill] is unconstitutional[.]\u201d Barrett extended the temporary injunction in March of 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

Judge Barrett\u2019s claim that Ohio\u2019s bill was unconstitutional was founded upon the precedents established by <\/span>Roe v. Wade<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Planned Parenthood v. Casey<\/span><\/i>, the two cases which had established a so-called right to abortion. But with those two rulings now overturned, the landscape has shifted dramatically.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
