The Human Cost of Ohio's 6-Week Abortion Ban
I'm absolutely horrified by the stories in this article about Ohio's six-week abortion ban. [[link removed]]
Three different women with unwanted pregnancies who were denied abortion care threatened to die by suicide. There were at least three cases of pregnant people with fetal abnormalities - nonviable pregnancies - forced to remain pregnant, and a woman whose pregnancy had made her so sick she couldn’t get off the clinic floor.
This is what happens when Extremist Republicans ban abortion. They don't care about the real-life consequences for women and families.

"Aeran Trick, operations manager of Women’s Med Center of Dayton, wrote that “a 16-year-old girl living in Southwestern Ohio who had become pregnant after being sexually assaulted by a family member,” like the 10-year-old, was also forced to travel to Indiana for abortion. “The local Ohio law enforcement agency—which was already involved at the time the clinic was contacted about the patient—had to drive to our Indianapolis clinic to retrieve the tissue for crime lab testing related to the sexual assault investigation,” Trick added.
Dr. Sharon Liner, medical director of Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio in Cincinnati, wrote in her affidavit that a cancer patient whose chemotherapy had been paused due to her pregnancy sought and was denied abortion care, despite the Ohio law’s supposed exception for threats to the pregnant person’s life. Trick also recounted trying to help a pregnant person suffering from stage III melanoma, who sought abortion care because her pregnancy had paused her cancer treatment. Both of these women were ultimately forced to travel out of the state for care.
“If that patient couldn’t get her chemotherapy because she’s forced to continue her pregnancy, she’s not going to die in that moment, but she probably will die much sooner. Maybe significantly sooner, decades sooner,” Georgia-based abortion provider Nisha Verma told Jezebel in July, discussing one of her patients who ha d been diagnosed with cancer and needed an abortion so she could start chemotherapy."

We have to fight back against these dangerous laws.
We have to elect pro-choice candidates up and down the ballot who will protect reproductive freedom
If you're with me, please make a donation to the Ohio Senate Democrats today. We have to stop Extremist Republicans from taking away our right to abortion, IVF and birth control. [[link removed]]
Together we can protect abortion rights and our democracy. [[link removed]]
