The Republican-controlled Ohio Supreme Court on Friday unanimously voted to throw out a lawsuit from two Southwest Ohio conservatives seeking to block a proposed abortion-rights measure from making the November ballot.
COLUMBUS, Ohio—
The lawsuit, filed by former state Rep. Tom Brinkman, a Cincinnati Republican, and 2022 Republican legislative candidate Jenn Giroux, argued that the petition to place the proposed state constitutional amendment was invalid because it didn’t mention that state laws would have to be repealed if the measure passes.
Republican Justice Pat Fischer concurred in the judgement, but he issued a separate opinion arguing that Giroux and Brinkman misinterpreted that state law in a different way. Fischer held that abortion-rights activists didn’t need to list any laws their proposed amendment would “repeal,” because constitutional amendments by themselves don’t repeal laws.
