Ohio is currently ground zero in the fight against abortion in the US because of Issue 1, the abortion ballot initiative scheduled to go to the November 7th election.
If passed, Issue 1 would repeal all of Ohio’s pro-life laws, which would have allowed minor girls to obtain abortions without their parents’ knowledge, removing informed consent for those woman having an abortion, and more.
This Should Be A National Endeavour
You can be part of the fight against Issue 1 whether you live in Ohio or not. And we need all hands on deck now. If Issue 1 passes in Ohio, abortion advocates will try similar measures in other states!

If you live in Ohio. . .
There are several key ways Ohioans can convince their fellow citizens that Issue 1 would be terrible for their state.
