The Ohio Ballot Board added the words 'unborn child' and made other changes to ballot language describing a measure that would enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.
for the ballot measure that will be before voters in the November general election. The challengers argue the language approved by the board in a party-line vote"aims improperly to mislead Ohioans and persuade them to oppose the amendment."
According to the language adopted by the ballot board in a 3-to-2 vote, which would be what voters see on their ballots, the proposed amendment would establish in the Ohio Constitution"an individual right to one's own reproductive medical treatment, including but not limited to abortion," and"create legal protections for any person or entity that assists a person with receiving reproductive medical treatment, including but not limited to abortion.
In their challenge, the pro-abortion rights advocates argue the language fails to capture the full reach of the constitutional amendment by mentioning only abortion, even though five categories of reproductive health decisions are covered.
