ACLU sues Ohio Health Dept. over withheld abortion clinic license records; case pending at state Supreme Court.

The ACLU of Ohio has sued the state’s Department of Health to force release of public records related to the Toledo Women's Center’s abortion clinic license application. The group requested specific information about five individuals over six months, citing delays and lack of transparency. The ACLU alleges the agency has actively withheld records without explanation. The case is pending before the Ohio Supreme Court, where most justices have publicly expressed anti-abortion views, and the Attorney General’s office has declined to comment.
