Court Cases

The passage of this law by inclusion in the budget bill violates Ohio’s “single-subject” rule. In addition, the law is unconstitutionally vague.

Ohio lags behind other states in denying legal standing to unmarried, non-biological parents. Many states have abandoned biological interpretations of “parent” in shared parenting statutes, while others have adopted “de-facto parent” doctrines to allow same-sex couples to establish parentage claims.

Minor Plaintiffs and their parents challenge HB 68, Ohio's ban on gender affirming care for minors.

In 2021 Ohio passed S.B. 260, a law prohibiting telemedicine abortions. Medication abortions are safe and effective whether they are performed in a medical office or at home. S.B. 260 violates the new constitutional prohibition on unnecessary legal burdens on reproductive healthcare.
