Ohio Supreme Court races: What's at stake

Elections will be vitally important for not just the future of the country — but also for the state. On social issues that impact all families, the Ohio Supreme Court races are some of the most significant.

“Unwanted pregnancy is a hard thing,” Stark County voter Janet Barinno said. “It really is a hard thing.”

Ohio’s highest court will decide on issues that Barrino said are essential, like abortion regulations.

“It’s a big toss-up with that,” she added.

After voters chose to protect access to abortion, advocates have been going to court to repeal dozens of restrictions. They have been successful in the lower courts so far, like repealing a block to telehealth prescriptions, but those cases will eventually all end up in the Supreme Court.
