Statement from Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph T. Deters concerning the recent United States Supreme Court Decision in Dobbs V. Jackson Women’s Health Organization

“I was elected to enforce the laws of the State of Ohio. I took an oath that I would do just that.


I have repeatedly stated it is dangerous when prosecutors pick and choose what laws they want to enforce.


When prosecutors do not follow their oath, it will promote lawlessness and challenge the basic structures of separation of powers.”
