title-Ohio Supreme Court orders tweak of abortion ballot language, most GOP words will remain
snip-The Ohio Supreme Court ordered the Ohio Ballot Board to reword a portion of its ballot language for an abortion rights amendment, but the majority of the GOP-written wording will remain in place.
On Tuesday, the court ordered the five-member board to replace "citizens of the state of Ohio" with the "state of Ohio" when describing who can limit abortion access. Justice Pat Fischer, a Republican, joined with the court's three Democrats on that point.
snip-"-Ballot language is what voters will see at the polls, but the actual amendment's language is what would be added to the Ohio Constitution − if voters approve the measure later this year."
snip-"The proposed constitutional amendment, called Issue 1 on the Nov. 7 ballot, would enshrine protections for reproductive decisions, including abortion, in the state constitution. Abortions could be performed after viability, the point at which a fetus can survive outside the uterus, to save a pregnant patient's life or health. That decision would be made by the patient's doctor."
