Ohio Abortion Rate Hits A Record Low | Anti-choice activists have taken Ohio by storm, whipping up radical legislation like the “heartbeat bill” to drastically curb a woman’s right to choose all in the name of the supposed abortion scourge. Reality, of course, offers a different picture. A new report from the Ohio Department of Health reveals that the number of abortions in the state “has decreased for a 10th straight year, dropping to the lowest level since record-keeping started in 1976.” As the Guttmacher Institute notes, unintended pregnancies are the leading reason women seek abortions and health centers like Planned Parenthood specifically help prevent such pregnancies. If anti-choice activists actually worked with Planned Parenthood rather than attacking it, they could actually help reduce the practice they take such issue with.
