The Ohio Taliban
Abortion is supposedly legal in this country, but the self-righteous male-dominated right-to-life Ohio legislature, aided and abetted by Gov. Kasich, are doing their to best abort the law. They know not only what’s best for themselves, but also what’s best for everyone else.
The new provisions, put into the Ohio budget without debate, put Planned Parenthood at grave risk, as well as rape crisis clinics. All women seeking an abortion will be forced to undergo trans-vaginal ultrasounds. Should there be a health emergency during an abortion, access to public hospitals will be denied to the women of Ohio. Spared in all this are “crisis pregnancy centers”, often run by religious groups who oppose abortion and don’t offer abortion referral services.
Women have the right to choose, but very little choice in the matter.
