Abortion rights supporters sue Ohio officials over "unborn child" language in ballot measure

  • The Ohio Ballot Board approved language for a ballot measure establishing a state constitutional right to abortion.
  • Abortion rights supporters sued, arguing the approved language aims to mislead voters to oppose the measure.
  • The lawsuit challenges the use of "unborn child" instead of "fetus" in the ballot language.
  • The approved text fails to convey the full scope of protections in the proposed amendment, including for contraception.
  • Recent polling indicates 58% of Ohio voters support enshrining abortion rights in the state constitution.
