The plaintiffs want a federal court to block the measure before it takes effect on July 10. In a teleconference, Elizabeth Watson, a staff attorney at the ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project, said she believed the law was"blatantly unconstitutional under more than 45 years of Supreme Court precedent."Courts say anti-abortion 'heartbeat bills' are unconstitutional.
"Groups hope to prevent the law from taking effectPlaintiffs are Preterm-Cleveland, Planned Parenthood Greater Ohio, Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region, Women's Med Corp Professional Group, Capital Care Network of Toledo and Sharon Liner M.D.The suit names various state and local officials as defendants, including Yost, the director of the state's Department of Health, leaders in the State Medical Board of Ohio and several county prosecutors.
