Ohio Judge halts 2 abortion restrictions laws, aligning with 2023 abortion access amendment.

Ohio Judge Alison Hatheway has issued a preliminary injunction halting two laws that restrict medication abortions. This decision, made on August 29, extends an existing order against a telemedicine ban and blocks a law preventing non-doctors from prescribing mifepristone. The ruling aligns with a 2023 constitutional amendment that guarantees abortion access. The state may appeal, but the legal implications could significantly impact abortion rights in Ohio.
