After Ohio voters enshrined abortion rights in the state constitution, the state's court system may have the final say in the matter.
Ohio's newly approved constitutional protections for abortion access and reproductive rights, passed by voters with a 57% majority, will take effect on December 7.
The amendment approved on Nov. 7 did not repeal existing Ohio laws relating to abortion or reproductive rights. That has prompted some anti-abortion activists to step up pressure on Republican elected officials to extend their efforts to halt, or delay it.
