abortion

Now that it's been certified as a single issue, supporters of reproductive rights will need nearly 414,000 valid signatures to put it before Ohio voters in the fall.

The 20 states where Walgreens won't sell mifepristone include some where abortion remains legal. It's not clear whether other retail pharmacies will follow suit.

Next move will be for the Ohio Ballot Board to weigh in on it.

Political scientists, attorneys and advocates on both sides of the issue talk about how an abortion guaranteeing access to abortion, fertility treatments and other reproductive services might be applied in Ohio.

Two groups now working together on the issue presented initial petition signatures to the Ohio Attorney General's office to start the process of putting the amendment before voters.

A coalition of abortion rights organizations as well as a group of doctors have made the decision to do the ballot issue this year, not next.

The Ohio Physicians for Reproductive Choice is one of two groups that wants to put an abortion rights amendment before voters.

One of the key players in a coalition that wants to put reproductive rights before voters says the group hasn't ruled out this November, especially if referendum changes go on ballot.

The attorneys general in 20 states are responding to an FDA decision to make a pandemic era change permanent but the change doesn't affect Ohio anyway.

A decision is expected soon in a case challenging the FDA's approval of mifepristone, a drug commonly used to induce abortions.
