A proposed ballot initiative that would enshrine the right to an abortion in the Ohio Constitution is one step closer to going before voters in November after the Ohio Ballot Board certified suggested language.

"This grassroots initiative, by and for the people of Ohio, will create commonsense guarantees for Ohioans' freedom to make decisions about their own reproductive healthcare, including abortion," said Kellie Copeland with the Ohioans for Reproductive Freedom.

The proposed amendment will need over 400,000 valid signatures by July in order to qualify for the ballot this year.
