Ohio Will Appeal Ruling on Abortion
The state said Wednesday it will appeal a federal judge’s decision that struck down Ohio’s law requiring doctors to notify parents or guardians of unmarried minors who seek an abortion.
A notice of appeal will be filed within 30 days in the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati, said Robert Tenenbaum, an attorney for Ohio Atty. Gen. Anthony Celebrezze Jr.
U.S. District Judge Ann Aldrich ruled Tuesday that the law “violates the due process clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution” concerning citizenship rights.
