(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine issued the following statement regarding last week's ruling in Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio v. Hodges:

“After reviewing the Sixth Circuit panel decision, the Ohio Attorney General’s office will request en banc review. Nothing in the Constitution requires Ohio to use its funding discretion under these programs to support abortion providers, and we will appeal to the full Sixth Circuit.”
