Friend, we’re reaching out with a quick update on the ever-changing situation in Ohio.
It recently became public that Republican Indiana AG Todd Rokita is investigating a doctor who legally provided an abortion to a 10-year-old girl after she was raped in Ohio and forced to travel out of state for the procedure, since abortion is now illegal in the state. This was just hours after Republican AG Dave Yost of Ohio accused the 10-year-old of lying about being assaulted. Now, the doctor who provided the abortion is suing AG Rokita for defamation after he repeatedly attacked her character and made false statements about these events.
It’s clear from what’s happening in Indiana and Ohio that Republican AGs are going to try to shame rape victims and intimidate health providers. This year in Ohio, we have a chance to elect a pro-abortion rights candidate like Jeff Crossman who will protect and defend abortion access for all Ohioans.
