Opinion: Abortion burdens may return to Ohio. Who you pick for Supreme Court matters.
Abortion is legal in Ohio, but Roe v. Wade is in jeopardy.
The reversal of Roe v. Wade in June gave states the authority to limit or prohibit abortion. If Roe is overturned, Ohio's "heartbeat bill" will take effect, prohibiting abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant.
The upcoming Supreme Court race could determine the future of abortion rights in Ohio.
Justice Patrick DeWine is running against Democrat Jennifer Brunner for a seat on the Ohio Supreme Court. DeWine has said he believes Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided. Brunner has said she believes abortion should be legal.
Who you pick for Supreme Court matters.
The Ohio Supreme Court is the state's highest court, and its decisions on abortion could have a major impact on women's lives. If you care about abortion rights, it is important to vote in the upcoming Supreme Court race.
