COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio Supreme Court has officially accepted an appeal by Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost in a case involving the state's six-week abortion ban. The court said Tuesday morning it will look only at two of three legal questions that Yost asked the court to review: Whether he has the right to appeal a lower court's order putting the embryonic heartbeat law on hold and whether the abortion clinics have 'standing' or the right to challenge the law in the first place. The court declined to look at the third question – whether the Ohio Constitution creates the right to an abortion.
