COLUMBUS – The debate over abortion is heating up again but there’s never been anything quite like this in Ohio.
According to The Columbus Dispatch and WBNS 10-TV, a proposed constitutional amendment could go before voters that would legally define abortion as murder and carry the same punishment.
Three people turned in 1,000 signatures to Attorney General Mike Dewine’s office, hoping to get the measure to amend the state constitution on the ballot in November.
Opponents say — because of Roe V. Wade and a woman’s protected constitutional right to an abortion federally — Ohio would be signing up to fight a costly court battle
