A judge has placed a permanent injunction on an Ohio law protecting preborn children from abortion after a heartbeat can be detected, at around six weeks gestation.<\/p>\n

Two years ago, Judge Christian Jenkins placed an injunction<\/a> on the law, first on a temporary basis, and then indefinitely. Under S.B. 23<\/a>, preborn children who have detectable heartbeats are protected from abortion. Yet Jenkins agreed with the abortion industry<\/a>, writing that abortion is “safe health care to which Ohioans have a right.\u201d<\/p>\n

An Ohio court refused<\/a> to reinstate the law, so Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost asked the state Supreme Court to hear an appeal<\/a>. The Supreme Court agreed<\/a>, though has evidently not yet heard the case. Now, Jenkins has put a permanent injunction<\/a> in place. He ruled in favor<\/a> of abortion groups who sued after voters passed an amendment<\/a> enshrining abortion as a state constitutional “right.”<\/p>\n

Jenkins remarked that “Ohio\u2019s Attorney General evidently didn\u2019t get the memo\u201d regarding the Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs<\/em> decision, which returned the question of abortion regulation<\/a> to “to the people and their elected representatives<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the adoption of a broad and strongly worded constitutional amendment [in Ohio], in this case and others, the State of Ohio seeks not to uphold the constitutional protection of abortion rights, but to diminish and limit it,\u201d Jenkins said.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, another state judge blocked<\/a> common-sense safety measures. One was a law banning telemedicine abortions, and the other required only doctors to commit abortions, meaning non-physicians like nurse-practitioners or physician assistants from committing them.<\/p>\n

For his part, AG Yost said he is considering an appeal. His office released a statement, saying, \u201cThis is a very long, complicated decision covering many issues, many of which are issues of first impression.”<\/p>\n
