Preterm, et al. v. Yost, et al.
In 2019, Ohio signed into law a "heartbeat bill" criminalizing abortions after 6 weeks after a fetal heartbeat can be detected. The US Supreme Court has repeatedly and unequivocally held that, under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, a state may not ban pre-viability abortions.

Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region et al. v. Hodges et al.
The provisions of H.B. 59 and H.B. 64 in question violate the 14th Amendment because they impose an undue burden on women’s right to terminate their pregnancies, and they violate the right to due process because they endow private parties with standardless, unreviewable authority.
