Abortion is legal up to the point of viability in Ohio since voters passed a constitutional amendment last year. Now the legal challenges have begun. The American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio is suing to end the 24-hour waiting period to obtain the procedure. On Cincinnati Edition, we'll discuss the details of this lawsuit and what both sides are saying.
Plus, Cincinnati City Council is looking into an option to help homeowners pay for spiking property taxes. The plan would tap into other homeowner support funds that haven't been fully spent to provide $1 million in relief to low-income homeowners. We'll discuss what's next.
