In our news round-up Dan discussed:
A controversial bill introduced in the Ohio Senate that would force doctors to tell women seeking abortions that it is possible to “reverse” a medication abortion. The American Medical Association and American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology both say that medication abortion “reversal” is not possible.
The sobering news that Toledo is now the largest city in the United States without a surgical abortion provider when Capital Care Network surrendered its liscense for such procedures. The facility is still open and able to provide medication abortions.
The gun safety debate currently playing out in the Ohio Senate, where lawmakers recently introduced legislation that would implement a “red flag” law, require background checks for the purchasing of a firearm, raise the minimum age for purchasing, and more.
The announcement that the next Democratic presidential primary debate will be held in Westerville, Ohio at Otterbein University.
