In Ohio, a Grassroots Coalition Is Poised to Restore Reproductive Rights

For 82 days in 2022, Ohio banned all abortions over six weeks.

“It was a very dark and scary time in Ohio,” said Kellie Copeland, 54, of Akron, executive director of lobbying organization Pro-Choice Ohio. “There was so much work done by my staff and other organizations to get patients to care. … But that safety net didn’t catch everyone. There were some people who had to continue pregnancies against their will.”

Next week, Ohioans can vote to make sure that never happens again.

The U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on June 24, 2022, leaving millions across the country to ponder the future of abortion access.

2. Best Wishes to Pro Choice Ohio

Kansas kicked ass summer of 2022, you guys do it now.

I’m an old guy knowing that control freaks and zealots would oppose your efforts to maintain freedom and Justice in America.

And always remember it was a Catholic Billionaire who bought at least two whores on the Supreme Court to overturn roe. The vote to overturn was 5 to 4. All five in favor of overturning roe are Catholic. Separation of Church and State my ass. Turn loose the assessors.

3. Until they also vote for the men who will in turn pass new laws to control their body again.

4. Yep, DeWine cruised to reelection last year

and the state will very likely go to the Republican in the '24 election, despite what will (hopefully) happen next week. I just hope Brown can hold his seat, but it's looking to be close.
