Attorney General Mike DeWine appeals ruling supporting Cleveland abortion clinic's fight
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine is trying to keep a lawsuit from a Cleveland abortion provider from ever going to trial.
At issue is a lawsuit by Preterm-Cleveland, a women's health clinic that also provides abortion services, which argues restrictions enacted in a 2013 budget bill are unconstitutional.
DeWine this week asked the Ohio Supreme Court to review a decision from a Cuyahoga County appeals court that allowed the case to proceed. In a 2-1 decision, the 8th Ohio District Court of Appeals ruled that Preterm-Cleveland had standing to sue the state.
Ohio Right to Life, which supports the state abortion restrictions, cheered DeWine's appeal.
