Join the executive leadership of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio, Lauren Blauvelt (Executive Director), Danielle Firsich (Director of Public Policy), and Diamond Crumby (Director of Communications), for a critical and in-depth discussion on the ongoing battle for abortion access and bodily autonomy in Ohio.
In this urgent episode, we break down what the passage of the Ohio Reproductive Freedom Amendment (Issue 1) really meant and the relentless legal and legislative attacks it still faces. We discuss the crucial court victories that have expanded access, like blocking the six-week abortion ban and the 24-hour waiting period, and why the fight is far from over against a hostile state government and Ohio Supreme Court.
KEY TOPICS WE COVER:
The real-world impact of overturning Roe v. Wade in Ohio
How a powerful coalition won Issue 1 in a historic 2023 election
The current litigation landscape: wins, appeals, and the threat of a conservative supreme court
Legislative attacks in 2024-2025, including HB 347 (24-hour wait reinstatement) and HB 370 (fetal personhood bill)
The dangerous rise of disinformation and criminalization of patients and providers
The vital importance of the September 16th hearing and ongoing voter mobilization
How redistricting and fair maps are essential to protecting reproductive rights
