Ohio’s attorney general will appeal a ruling that struck down the most far-reaching of the state’s laws restricting abortion

The law was blocked in court almost from the moment it was enacted, with abortion rights advocates suing to stop enforcement of the law.

Ohio’s attorney general said Wednesday he would appeal an October injunction that prohibited state officials from enforcing a six-week abortion ban, according to The Associated Press. Republican Dave Yost filed a notice of appeal Friday seeking to overturn a ruling that upheld state voters’ amendment to enshrine abortion rights.

Attorney General Dave Yost is appealing a decision that permanently struck down Ohio's most restrictive abortion ban and other abortion regulations.
